Yummy Chilled or Warm Tofu and Soy Milk Shiratama Dumplings
- 100 grams Shiratamako
- 140 grams Firm tofu (silken tofu or soy milk would be OK too)
- 1 Water
- 40 grams Kinako
- 20 grams or more (to taste) Sugar
- 1 pinch Rock salt (Regular salt works too)
- Put the ingredients in a plastic bag and mix in advance.
- Put the shiratamako and tofu in a bowl and knead well.
- Continue to knead while adding water a little at a time, until the mixture becomes as soft as your earlobe.
- Shape the dough into balls.
- (If you like, making a dent in the middle makes them cook faster.)
- Boil the dumplings from step 3 with lots of hot water.
- They will sink at first, but they will float up after a while.
- When the dumplings are floating on the surface as shown in the picture, boil for another minute, then take them out and chill in cold water.
- Drain the water quickly.
- Put the drained dumplings in the plastic bag prepared in step 1, and shake to coat with roasted soy flour.
- This would be fine to make with silken tofu (If you used silken tofu, you may not need to add water).
- In Zambia, we can only get firm tofu, so I adjusted the ingredients accordingly.
- Enjoy with matcha.
- These are still soft even when chilled, so you can keep them for 2 to 3 days in a plastic container.
- When they get hard on the 3rd day, microwave!
- That will restore their softness.
- Rehydrate 5g of dried yomogi (Japanese mugwort), then once it's soft, add it to the dough to make kusa dango style ~You can also make mitarashi-dango (dumplings covered in sweet soy sauce) with this.
- These were made with 3g of spinach powder.
- This adds vegetable protein, sweetness and iron!
- Accompany with.
