Tips for making Dango?

Question

I want to make sesame dango ( japanese skewered dumplings shaped like balls ) or other dango, but I just don't know how! Do you have any recipes or tips on how to make dango, ingredients, or where to buy them? I've read a few things, but it's very confusing!

Answer 1

I would first find a recipe your comfortable with, I am a former chef and I just happen to have worked in Japan some time ago, and for me there no trouble, but a first time experience can be a bit daunting, look for some one the internet, and make sure your comfortable with the prep and ingredients, plus if your in a town without a Japanese supermarket or shop, you may have to enlist the services of another Asian store for supplies.

Sweet rice flour is available in most Oriental and Asian store and with the listed ingredients on the page I link, it will be not problem, just use the links on the page for a recipe.
