These are the flours I used for making the dango

Method:

1. In a medium bowl, combined Shiratamako, Joshinko & sugar

2. Add in water gradually & knead till the dough becomes smooth.

3. Divide the dough into 24 pieces (14-15g each). 

*I knead in some matcha powder into half of the dough

4. Placed dango into a large pot of boiling water. 

Cook for another 1min after all the dango float to the surface.

 Remove from pot & transfer into a bowl of ice water.

5. Drain the dango & put 4 pieces into a bamboo skewer. 

Topped with some red bean paste & serve.
