Buckwheat & Tofu Dango
- 150 grams Tofu
- 50 grams Buckwheat (soba) flour
- 1 tbsp Sugar (I used soft light brown sugar)
- 1 Anko, kinako, mitarashi sauce
- 2 tsp Sesame (either white or black)
- Put tofu in a small pan.
- Mix well with a whisk until smooth.
- Add buckwheat flour, sugar and mix well.
- Then heat on medium.
- Mix continuously while heating.
- When it starts to solidify, turn down the heat to low and knead for about 2 minutes.
- Prepare a bowl with iced water and transfer Step 3.
- Separate into bite sized with your hands or with a spoon.
- Try to roll them into balls.
- Drain the water well and dish it up on a plate.
- Sprinkle or coat with sweetened sauces, anko, or kinako.
- Add sesame seeds to the dough at Step 2 for a popping texture.
- You could glaze the dango with a sweet miso and soy sauce koji glaze.
- Or with a sake lees mitarashi sauce
- Or coat with kinako (a combination of kinako, sugar, and salt).
- If it is not too much trouble, dry-roast the buckwheat flour in a frying pan before use.
- It'll boost the fragrance.
