Dango

I went to the Japanese Festival this weekend and I was looking forward in trying  dango, but unfortunately they did not have it. Dango is a Japanese dumpling made from rice flour. The interesting thing about dango is that there are a variety of dango that are usually named after the various seasonings served on or with it:
  • Anko: it is known as a sweetened red bean paste. use on rare occasions 
  • An-dango is the most popular flavor in Japan
  • Borchan Dango: This Dango has 3 colors. One is red beans, the second by eggs and the third by green tea. This is often seen in Japanese Anime 
  • Chichi dango: slightly sweet  that is eaten as a desert 
  • Goma: sesame seeds and it is both sweet and salty 
  • kinako: toasted soy flour 
  • Kushi dango: dangos held by a skewer 
  • Mitarashi: is a syrup made from soy sauce, sugar, and starch.
  • Nori: dried and seasoned seaweed
The video above gives a tutorial how to make Mitarashi Dango. If any of guys know where in Houston they sell Dango let me know XD . I really want to try.
Thank you!
