Shiratama Dango 白玉団子

Shiratama Dango are soft, chewy Japanese rice flour dumplings made by mixing glutinous rice flour with silken tofu to form a pliable dough. The dough is divided and colored with rose food coloring for a subtle pink hue. Small round dumplings are shaped, boiled until they float, then cooled. Served with condensed milk and garnished with goji berries, these sweet dumplings offer a tender texture balanced with creamy-sweet topping and a pop of color.

Ingredients

  • 200 g glutinous rice flour you can get this from the shop sold as Shiratamako
  • 200 g silken tofu

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the rice flour and tofu in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix them together and knead until the flour and tofu has mixed well and formed a soft dough.
  3. Divide the dough into two and drop one rose/pink food colouring on one and knead into the half dough to make it a pink colour.
  4. Roll out each dough into a long cylinder shape and cut them to 24 pieces each of white and pink dough.
  5. Shape them into 48 round dango.
  6. Boil water in a large pot and add the white dango. When they float to the surface of the boiling water, it is cooked.
  7. Scoop out the flouting dango and put them into an another bowl filled with cold water.
  8. Repeat the same for the pink dough.
  9. Drain the water and serve 8 dango each.
  10. Pour condensed milk over the top and garnish with goji berries.

Notes

  • Shiratamako and glutinous rice flour are both sticky rice products; either can be used though the process differs slightly.
  • Use silken tofu for best dough consistency and softness in the dumplings.
