Description
Dango is rice cake mochi, round shape, impaled on a skewer usually 3-5 pieces. The history of this dessert has century, the wide distribution it received in the XIX century and still enjoys the same love among the Japanese. There is a huge variety of variations of Dango with different toppings (beans, egg, green tea, soy flour, etc.), differing in shape and color. I'd like to tell you about one of the most popular varieties of Dango - shippuden mitarashi-Dango, which is a kind of kushi-Dango covered with sauce shippuden mitarashi - syrup-based sugar and soy sauce. Really any dumpling prepared from rice flour, which must be mixed in the desired proportions of several varieties of ordinary rice and glutinous. I tried to replicate this dessert made from rice flour, made by yourself, so do not expect full coincidence with the original.

Cooking
Smoliam in a coffee grinder as much rice to make one full Cup of flour.
Pour the rice flour in a deep bowl, boil water.
Constantly stirring the dough with a spoon or whisk, gradually add hot water. As soon as the dough will be like clay will not stick to hands and to fall apart, stop adding water.
Lepim balls the size of a walnut or slightly smaller that the ball of Dango was able to fit in my mouth. You should get a 15 round lepeshechki - just enough for 5 skewers.
Boil water in a pan, throws in boiling water balls of Dango and cook them, stirring occasionally with a spoon so they do not stick together among themselves and did not stick to the bottom of the pan. When they float, allow them to cook for another 2-3 minutes, then extract them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and spread on a plate. If You have a steamer heat treatment process much easier - cook them for a few 15-20 minutes. Thus, they definitely will not collapse and deform what might happen to them during cooking.
Strung polyactive rice cakes on wooden skewers with 3 pieces. In Japan instead of wooden skewers, using thin bamboo sticks. If you want to cook Dango closer to the original, fry each piece in the pan-grill until Golden stripes.
Shippuden mitarashi-Dango are eaten in the form of heat, so I recommend to cook the sauce for a while, until cooked Dango. Fortunately, this can be done easily and simply. Pour into a saucepan 1 Cup water, add sugar, soy sauce and starch. Cook on low heat until thick, stirring constantly.
Cover the sauce-syrup our kebabs.
I could not resist and made one skewer on the motives of Sanshoku-Dango - it is tricolor, green color is achieved by adding green tea or "Emory" - the Japanese varieties of wormwood, and to obtain red using natural dyes. This variety of Dango not covered in sweet syrup, sugar is added directly to the dough, at the rate of about 100 g of sugar 400 g of rice flour. Dango, as I wrote above, has an ancient history, this dessert is eaten just like that, but there were special types of Dango, which were prepared for certain seasons, such as the cherry blossom season, on the feast of Admiring cherry blossoms. Hence the proverb "Hana ERI Dango", which can be loosely translated as "eat before admiring the beautiful". Let us, therefore, dear friends, let us take the example of the Japanese, we eat delicious food and contemplate the finer things, becoming at least a little kinder soul and a purer heart.
