Step-by-Step Instructions for Hanami Dango
- In a large mixing bowl, add the silken tofu, Japanese rice flour, and white sugar. Knead until it becomes a smooth dough.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Mix matcha powder into one, use strawberry powder for the second, and leave the last portion plain.
- Roll each portion into small balls, making 5–6 pieces from each colored dough.
- Fill a large pot with water, bring it to a boil, and drop the dango balls in batches.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes until they float, then remove from the pot.
- Shock the cooked dango in ice water for about 2 minutes.
- Skewer the dango in color order: green, white, and pink, and serve immediately.

Notes
Use silken tofu for best texture. Shock the dango in ice water immediately after cooking to maintain their chewy texture.
