I really like the way you taught ushow to make this! I have eaten hanami dango several times before in Japan and it is tasty.
I will try making it by using your recipe. Thank you. ^_^

I've been making these dangos since I first discovered the recipe in 2021 and it's my go-to recipe! the texture is perfect and they're so tasty~ thanks 🍡🍡

[jaydanchin]

Honestly your video is simple and easy to understand thank you very much!

[FireSilver]

I’m Navajo so I’m going to try this with blue corn meal! Ahe’hee!

[umiwakanai]

This was made around a year ago, but it’s still very helpful! I will be making these for a party and I hope they turn out well ^-^
I also hope that using non-japanese rice flour & glutenous rice flour will work out fine ;;

The red food coloring can be replaced with Sakura powder or strawberry powder! :)

How much cups of water I need? I dont have tofu and will like to use water. Can i also use sakura powder ? If so how much?

[lucydelgado-vega]

Gonna try making some for my bf! They seem yummy! 😁

[cruxicute]

I tried the recipe with regular glutinous rice flour. I liked the recipe, but I wanted the texture to be more chewy and sweeter. Should I add more glutinous rice flour?

raiden shoguns banner rerunning. prepare the sweets lads

[neo_xxx_nyx]

How many hours can I leave the dough out for because I made the dough but I need to wait for my sibling to wake up and give me the colours

[tomboymjr]

So is the water in the tofu added or is that it’s natural juices?

[Marynicole]

Can I do this if I only have glutenous rice flour?

[mpetsorisama]

I started the recipe with regular tofu because of directions from another Chanel (they didn't say it was silken)... Is there anything i can do Or does it go to waste?

[crustttttt]

It's me and my firm tofu against the world.
(Kidding aside, that is the only kind of tofu available around in my area, wish me luck)
