Ingredients
Dango
¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon glutinous rice flour (100g)
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the ingredients until it comes together to form a smooth ball. If it is too dry, add more tofu. If it is too wet, add more glutinous rice flour.
Divide the dough into two equal portions.
Mix in Black Sesame Crunchy Butter to half of the dough and the strawberry powder to the other half.
For each dough portion, weigh out about nine 10g balls of dough, roll into spheres, and place on a plate.
Use leftover dough to add ears on top of each ball, using water as glue.
Place dango bears onto a slotted spoon/ladle and gently transfer them to a large pot of simmering water. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the dango bears float.
Fill a large bowl with ice water. Transfer the cooked dango to the ice water for 30 seconds, then move to a plate.
Assemble dango by gently sliding 3 of them onto bamboo skewers. Decorate with toothpicks dipped in melted chocolate to draw on bear faces.
