Instructions
Mix the dango ingredients by hand in a large bowl, adding the water gradually. Roll into a log, cut or tear off a small amount, and hand-shape into a ball. Continue until all the dough is used (should make about 12 balls). The balls should be as soft as your earlobe, so add water if the consistency is too thick.
Bring a pot of water to the boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Make an indentation in the centre of each ball - this is to help them cook quickly and evenly! Boil the shiratama dango for about 2 minutes. When the balls start to float, scoop them out and put them to soak in the bowl of ice water.
While the shiratama dango are cooling, cut your fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces. Then put the shiratama dango and all the toppings into two serving bowls and drizzle with kuromitsu or the sweet syrup of your choice. Enjoy your well-deserved homemade snack!
