Chi Chi Dango Japanese Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Whisk together the rice flour, sugar and baking powder; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the water, vanilla, coconut milk and red food coloring. Blend in the rice flour mixture. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool completely.
• Turn the pan of mochi out onto a clean surface that has been dusted with potato starch. Cut into bite size pieces using a plastic knife. The mochi does not stick as much to plastic knives.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, beat with mixer (low speed) or wire whip until smooth and all lumps dissolve.
• Add red food coloring to desired tint.
• Generously grease a 9 x 13" pan.
• Pour into pan and bake 1 hour at 325 degrees.
• Turn oven off but let sit another 15 minutes
• Cool.
• Cut into strips, roll in potato starch or cornstarch.
• Cut into small rectangular pieces with saran wrap covered knife for easier cutting.

Steps:

• Combine the Mochiko slowly and gradually with the water in the mixing bowl, trying to get a solid-but-squishy dough.
• Knead the dough well.
• Make small round dumplings (or Dango) with the dough, roughly 1 inch in diameter at the most.
• Steam the dango for 10-15 mins in the steamer on medium or high heat, depending on your steamer.
• When they are done (brownled slightly) take them off and let the cool on a wire rack.
• Mix the sugar, water (Larger mesurement) and soysauce in the small pan over a medium heat.
• Combine the Katakuriko with the small tablespoon and a half of water.
• When the sauce starts to boil, add the mixture in the cup to it, mix and remove from heat.
• Grill the dango slightly and add the sauce to taste.
• YUM! Anime-licous!

Steps:

• Mix the Sticky Rice, the Tofu and the sugar to form a certain kind of dough for making Dango. Make a round ball with the dough.
• Split your round ball into three pieces. Add the green tea powder to one of the pieces. Mix it with your hands until it has gotten a uniform green colour. Leave the second piece of the dough as it is and now add 2 Drops of red food colouring to the third piece. Mix it with your hands until it has gotten a red uniform colour.
• Now divide each of your three pieces of dough into five parts. Now you should have 15 parts of dough. Five will be red, five white, and the remaining five green. Form each of the 15 parts into balls by rolling them with your palms.
• Boil the 15 pieces of dough for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, let them cool down. Then, take 3 pieces of dough each different colour. Get a skewer and pierce the 3 pieces of dough on. The order doesn't really matter but it's more traditional in Japan to put the green one on first, then the white, and finally, then the red. Enjoy!!
