關於 how to eat large dumplings ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Dango Jiru or Dago Jiru is a Traditional dumpling soup from many prefectures in Japan. Depending on prefecture, it is called differently. For instance in Ōita it is called Dango Jiru and in Kumamoto it is called Dago Jiru, etc... The shape of dumplings differs from house to house. Some people take time to stretch out the dumplings into long Udon-like noodle shape. Some people make it into flat round shape. Some people just tear it into the soup. Moreover, some people put chicken and vegetables. Most people use Taro potato, Daikon radish, and Gobo (burdock root) but they are not a must. Please take it easy and try it out in the way you like!

Fun to make with kids as well 😉

FYI: You can use any Dashi product. I used this one.

Sesame Seed Balls (芝麻球) are a Chinese sweet treat.

Instead of deep-frying them I baked in the oven because I know my viewers like a healthier version ;)

---------------------------------
BAKED Sesame Seed Balls

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 8 pieces

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) Mochiko (glutinous rice flour) *Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour) is OK
80ml water
1 tsp. sesame oil
120g (4.2oz.) Koshi-an (sweet Azuki red bean paste without skins)
toasted white sesame seeds

Directions:
1. Place Mochiko (glutinous rice flour) in a bowl. Add water and mix very well until smooth.
2. Add sesame oil and mix well until combined.
3. Divide Koshi-an (sweet Azuki red bean paste without skins) into 8 equal pieces, then roll them into balls.
4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, then roll them into balls as well. Flatten out the dough with your fingers, and wrap the Koshi-an securely.
5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Then remove from the boiling water and transfer into cold water (to cool and remove the slimy texture).
6. Preheat the oven to 250C (482F). Lightly drain the dumplings and coat with toasted white sesame seeds. *You can eat them as-is but sesame seeds stick well if you bake.
7. Bake at 250C (482F) until crisp golden brown (for about 7 minutes). *You can bake in the toaster oven for a few minutes or deep-fry.

Just out from the oven is very good. They stay chewy and soft till the next day. You can keep in the freezer for a week. When you eat, put it out from the fridge for a few minutes until the Mochi gets soft, then bake in the oven if you like.

Kaki (Japanese Persimmon) is in season now!
I think I am buying it whenever I go and shop at the supermarket :3

Some of my viewers requested me for a simple sweet using Kaki, so I made this for you. I hope you like it. It was really good!!!

BTW, if you use Tofu instead of water, Dango become much softer.

Kaki and Shiratama Dango with Kuromitsu (Japanese Persimmon and Sweet Rice Dumplings with Brown Sugar Syrup)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 25min
Number of servings: 16 Dango

Ingredients:
((8 White Dango))
75g (2.7oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
1/2 tsp. sugar
75ml- water
((8 Matcha Green Tea Dango))
75g (2.7oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Matcha green tea powder
75ml- water
((Finish))
1 Kaki (Japanese persimmon) *any fruit is okay
Kinako (soybean flour) *finely chopped nuts are okay
Kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) *honey is okay

Directions:
((8 White Dango))
1. Put Shiratamako, sugar and water in a bowl and knead the dough with your hand until smooth. Adjust the texture by adding more Shiratamako or water until the dough turns as soft as your earlobe.
2. Divide the dough into 8 small pieces and roll into small balls. Then press the center of the ball gently with your finger (in this way, dango cook evenly and faster).
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the Dango in the boiling water. After a few minutes, Dango will float to the surface. Boil for another 1-2 minutes. Then remove from the boiling water and transfer into cold water (to cool and remove the slimy texture). After a minute, drain well.
((8 Matcha Green Tea Dango))
Make the same as the white Dango, but sift the Matcha green tea powder before mixing.
((Finish))
1. Cut Kaki into bite-size pieces.
2. Place the Kaki and Dango in a dish. Top with Kinako and Kuromitsu.

*You can store the Dango in the freezer. When you eat, defrost at room temperature OR microwave OR cook in boiling water.
*You can store the Dango in the fridge for 3 hours but they can easily get hard, so I don't recommend it.
