Healthy Tricolour Dango with Shiratamako and Silken Tofu
- 200 grams Shiratamako
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 1/4 tsp Matcha
- 2 small pinches or more Red food colouring (use sparingly and see how it goes)
- Mix the shiratamko and silken tofu together.
- To make tricolour dango, divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
- Add the matcha to one portion and mix well to make a green dough.
- To make a pink dough, add the food colouring to another portion.
- Add the food colouring sparingly and see how it goes.
- Otherwise the food colouring may give too strong a colour to the dough.
- Make small balls with the dough and arrange them onto a dish.
- Put the balls into the boiling water.
- Once they start to float up to the surface take them out and put them in a bowl of cold water.
- Skewer 3 balls of dango with a toothpick and transfer to a serving dish.
- It's done!
- To make a rabbit face, first make a ball with plain dough.
- Put two small pink cheeks on the ball.
- Make 2 oblongs with plain dough to make ears.
- Cook them in boiling water.
- After cooking put 2 black sesame seeds on the face to make eyes.
- Use a piece of dried pasta to stick the ears to the face.
- For the ear decoration, I used puffed rice pellets (called "bubu arare" in Japan).
