Mitarashi Dango is a Japanese sweet with mochi (rice cake) and thick, sweet sauce. It is originally from my hometown, Kyoto, but you can find it everywhere in Japan—even convenience stores. It is very good with hot tea.

Ingredients
- 1/4 lb dango powder (glutinous rice flour)
Tools

Spices

Preparation
- Mix dango powder with 1/3 cup of warm water until it forms the shape of a ball
- Roll it out and cut it into 15 pieces (see pic)

how can u add coloring to dango?
Oh i didnt know you were suppose to keep them in for 2-3 minutes afterwards thanks =]
Dottie, you should not boil them that long. Heat the water until it comes to a rapid boil then put the dango in there (all at the same time). You should boil them until they float plus another 2 or 3 minutes max.
Dottie, Probably there are too many dango boiling in not enough hot water and water temperature wasn’t hot enough. Can you try to use a bigger pot or less dango?
After 15 min. my water looked murky and the dango balls were very doughy. Should I boil them longer or less?
Itadikimasu!
