Ingredients
- 200g mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
- 100ml water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 strawberries, hulled and washed
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mochiko, water, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more mochiko. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water.
- Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball about the size of a ping pong ball. Repeat until you have 10 balls of dough.
- Flatten each ball slightly and press a strawberry into the center. Gently pinch the dough around the strawberry to seal it inside.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully drop the dango into the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Remove the dango from the water with a slotted spoon and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy dango!
