Dango with Red Bean Paste is simply an easy little Japanese snack to make at home. Chewy and soft rice dumplings are skewered, charred, and topped with chunky red bean paste, creating a satisfying contrast texture in your mouth.
Servings:
Ingredients
- 6 bamboo skewers
- 1/3 cup (100 gr) red bean paste
If you are using Dangoko
- 7 oz (200 gr) Dangoko (glutinous rice flour)
- 2/3 cup (150 gr) warm water
If you are using Joshinko & Shiratamako
- 3.5 oz (100 gr) Joshinko (rice flour)
- 3.5 oz (100 gr) Shiratamako (glutinous rice flour)
- 2/3 cup (150 ml) warm water
Instructions
- Soak the skewers in water to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm water with chopsticks until it clumps. Add the remaining water a little bit at a time and knead the dough with your hand until combined into a big ball. Please note that it is possible that you may need less or more water.
- Divide the dough into 20 grams each and roll the ball into balls You should get about 18-19 small balls with about 1-inch diameter.
- In a large pot, boil water and add the balls. Cook until they float to the top. Scoop them out with a wire ladle and put them immediately into the bowl of the cold water bath to stop the cooking process.
- Once they are cooled, drain well and transfer them to a tray. Wet the tray so that the dumplings will not stick.
- Skewer three pieces of rice dumplings into a soaked skewer. Continue the rest of the balls and set aside.
- I grill dango over directly with the fire on the stovetop. You can also grill them with a non-stick frying pan, grill, or blow torch. Grease the grill or your pan lightly with oil to prevent dango from sticking.
- Spread a tablespoon of red bean paste on top of each dango. Continue with the remaining dango and serve immediately.
