Tofu Shiratama Dumplings
- 150 grams Shiratamako
- 150 grams Silken Tofu
- 20 grams Water
- Put the shiratamako in a bowl and break the tofu on top.
- Tip: you do not need to add water at this point.
- Knead it together until it is about the softness of your earlobe.
- If the water from the tofu isn't enough to get it to that consistency, add a little bit of water.
- Boil in the same way as you would normal shiratama dumplings.
- Roll the dough into little balls and boil in water.
- To make sure the dumplings are heated through, wait one to two minutes after they float to the surface of the boiling water before you take them out.
- Once they're cooked, cool the dumplings in ice water.
- Make sure to drain the water when you eat.
- This time I tried adding tsubu-an, kinako, and zunda-an (crushed and sweetened edamame) for flavoring For homemade zunda-an, I used edamame paste baby food (the refrigerated kind) and added 60 g of sugar and 50 g of water and then microwaved it for a bit.
- During Step 2, you can add a bit of matcha and the dango will turn this nice green color.
