STEP 1/9
Prepare corn starch (potato starch) soy sauce, glutinous rice flour, mixing bowl, spatula, brown sugar (white sugar available), and mirin.
STEP 2/9
Mix 100g of glutinous rice flour and 75ml of water while controlling the amount.
STEP 3/9
Mix it and pat it with your hand if it gets a little lumpy. Cover the finished dough with plastic wrap so that the moisture doesn't evaporate.
STEP 4/9
To make seasoning, add 20ml of water, 10ml of soy sauce, 25ml of mirin, and 20g of brown sugar and boil it gently. Mix 5ml of water and 5g of corn starch along the way and boil until viscous.
STEP 5/9
Please take off the sticky rice dough and make it round. (Feel free to make any shape!!)
STEP 6/9
Now, put it in boiling water! Well-boiled glutinous rice dough floats on the water.
STEP 7/9
Remove the floating dough and soak it in cold water enough.
STEP 8/9
Now, put the dough on the skewer nicely.
STEP 9/9
If you put on the sauce, you're done making dango!
It's better not to put too much soy sauce. Don't add starch because it doesn't get viscous while making the sauce! Stir well enough. If you don't like salty food, add a little bit of soy sauce! It'll be perfect for kids' snacks, right?
