by KOMEKO Team in Recipes

How many dango skewers would you like to prepare?

These gluten-free dango made with KOMEKO MOCHIGLÜCK are like a little trip to Japan. Their texture is wonderfully soft and chewy, while the two classic glazes – sweet and savory Mitarashi and bold, umami-rich Dengaku – create an authentic street food experience. Perfect as a snack, dessert, or a special highlight for parties and sharing platters.

Ingredients

For the dough:

200 g KOMEKO MOCHIGLÜCK
30 g KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK
200 ml water

For the Dengaku Dango Miso Paste:

2 tbsp miso paste (gluten-free)
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sake (optional)

For the Mitarashi Dango glaze:

2 tbsp tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp mirin
1 tsp potato starch
3 tbsp water

Other

8 pcs wooden skewers

Preparation

Prepare the dango:
Mix KOMEKO MOCHIGLÜCK and KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK with water in a bowl and knead into a smooth, slightly sticky dough. It should be soft but not overly wet. Adjust with a little more water or flour if needed. Shape the dough into small balls (approx. 2.5 cm diameter = approx. 13 g each), about 32 in total (4 balls per skewer). Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the balls and cook until they float to the surface. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to cold water to stop the cooking process.
Pan-fry the dango (optional, but adds great flavor!):
Thread the dango onto skewers (traditionally 4 per skewer). Pan-fry in a lightly oiled hot pan or grill until lightly charred.
Mitarashi dango – soy glaze:
Whisk together sugar, tamari, mirin, potato starch, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
Dengaku dango – miso glaze:
Mix miso paste, sugar, mirin, and sake. Warm over medium heat until the sauce becomes slightly glossy. Remove from heat.
Serve:
Brush the warm dango skewers generously with your sauce of choice. Enjoy warm, or let cool for a perfect grab-and-go snack
