Dango (団子) is a Japanese dumpling made from mochiko (glutinous rice flour)

Boyfriend has to go for health check-up for army, so we'll meet once he is done. I thought I'd use this time to try out Tofu Dango because the recipe is very easy. And, I don't have red bean paste, so I Google'd for other variations, but I do not have the ingredients listed. 

So, knowing that the Japanese coat Dango with a sweet soy sauce, I decided to make my own using soba sauce and sugar (Recipe can be found below)

But...



+++++++

Ok, time for some tasty treats! 


INGREDIENTS:
Glutinous Rice Flour (100g)
Silken Tofu (100g)





HOW-TO-COOK?


1. In bowl mix flour and tofu by hand
* If dough is sticky, add a little water



2. Knead until the dough is smooth. 

3. Shape them into balls.


4. Prepare boiling water.


5. Gently place it in the boiling water and wait for 1-2 minutes until dumplings start to float


6. Place dango in icy cold water.

7. Drain well.


8. Skewer them, 3 on each satay stick. (I couldn't find satay sticks at home!)

FOR SWEET SAUCE: (I created this by myself)
SOBA SAUCE (1/4cup)
SUGAR (6-7 teaspoons; enough to make sauce a little thick)

1. In a microwavable container, heat soba sauce and sugar for 30secs.
2. Stir, and let it cool for a minute. (If need, add more sugar)
3. Check consistency
4. Heat mixture in microwave for another 30secs.
5. Let it cool and coat dango with sweet sauce.
