Chi Chi Dango Japanese Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Whisk together the rice flour, sugar and baking powder; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the water, vanilla, coconut milk and red food coloring. Blend in the rice flour mixture. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool completely.
• Turn the pan of mochi out onto a clean surface that has been dusted with potato starch. Cut into bite size pieces using a plastic knife. The mochi does not stick as much to plastic knives.

Steps:

• 1. Combine mochiko, sugar, baking powder.
• 2. Blend coconut milk, water, vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
• 3. Add a few drops of red or green food coloring, or whatever color you want to make it. Mix well, so there are no streaks or dots of food color.
• 4. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with a non-stick spray, pour the batter and cover with foil, bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• 5. Remove from the oven and take off the foil to cool. Cut the mochiko with a plastic knife. Cut them into small pieces approximately 1 x 1 1/2 inches.
• 6. In a plastic zip-lock bag pour in katakuriko or kinako, add cut pieces of chi chi dango a little at a time, so the pieces will not stick together. Lightly shake them off and place on a serving platter.
• 7. If you cannot find katakuriko or kinako, you can roll the Chi Chi Dango in cornstarch.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, beat with mixer (low speed) or wire whip until smooth and all lumps dissolve.
• Add red food coloring to desired tint.
• Generously grease a 9 x 13" pan.
• Pour into pan and bake 1 hour at 325 degrees.

• Cool.
• Cut into strips, roll in potato starch or cornstarch.
• Cut into small rectangular pieces with saran wrap covered knife for easier cutting.

Steps:

• Combine the Mochiko slowly and gradually with the water in the mixing bowl, trying to get a solid-but-squishy dough.
• Knead the dough well.
• Make small round dumplings (or Dango) with the dough, roughly 1 inch in diameter at the most.
• Steam the dango for 10-15 mins in the steamer on medium or high heat, depending on your steamer.
• When they are done (brownled slightly) take them off and let the cool on a wire rack.
• Mix the sugar, water (Larger mesurement) and soysauce in the small pan over a medium heat.
• Combine the Katakuriko with the small tablespoon and a half of water.
