How to make MITARASHI DANGO みたらし団子 l Easiest MOCHI recipe! Dango dumplings with sweet soy sauce

WE ALL LOVE MOCHI !!!
Well, there are various kinds of mochi and many ways to make them. This is the easiest/fastest way to make it. Specifically, it is called "Dango" , dumplings. If you can get 白玉粉 or Mochiko, you almost win the game:) Standard recipe is Shiratama powder with water but I use Tofu instead of water. This gives the dango a better texture and hidden umami too. I've learned it from my tea ceremony teacher (20years ago...!).
You can mix Matcha powder with Shiratama/Mochiko so that nice bright green mochi can be made. Enjoy!
