Description
Strawberry Shiratama Dango is a dessert often made during the spring to celebrate Hinamatsuri (Girls day). This traditional Japanese dessert recipe is soft, chewy and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 50g silken tofu
- 50g strawberries
- 100g shiratamako / glutinous sweet rice flour
- 1–2 tsp water
For serving
- condensed milk
- vanilla ice cream
- anko (sweet red bean paste)
Instructions
- Add the tofu and 50g of shiratamako to a bowl. Use your hands to mash it together until a smooth dough forms.
- In another bowl, add the strawberries and microwave at 600 W for 30 seconds or until soft. Blend or mash the strawberries until pureed. Add the remaining shiratamako into the bowl and mix until a dough forms, it should ‘be the softness of your ear lobe’.
- Add water to a pot and turn to high heat. In the meantime, divide each dough into 10 pieces, about 10g each. Roll them into balls.
- Add the dango into the boiling water. Cook until they float. Once they float, cook for another 1 minute. Use a skimmer to remove the dango and place in a bowl of ice water. Once the dango has cooled, add desired amount into bowls. Serve with coconut condensed milk, ice cream and/or anko. Enjoy!

Can you use frozen strawberries? How much would you use?
Honestly a 10/10. Super tasty. My favourite was the Strawberry Dango balls. I prefer mine a little more sweet so I topped mine with maple syrup
sooooooooo good and the texture is a delight! Topped it off with some smooth red bean paste and condensed milk. Loved the little bits of strawberry in the pink balls. Thank you for this recipe!
Love the texture! I added a little more sweetness for my taste, and it was delicious and pretty quick to make. Also, they are adorable hehe. Thanks for the detailed recipe.
Thank you this is a fast and easy recipe. Dango is fun make and put together!
Easy and delicious. Such an easy and fun treat to make.
So chewy and soft I loved it with vanilla ice cream.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!! Made these last week and amazed myself and my bf. loved this dessert so much and it was so fun and easy to make. I have a bit of a sweet tooth so may put a little sugar in the next time, but they were seriously so tasty with the Coconut Condensed Milk that Lisa suggested in her Instagram Live of the recipe.
Can’t wait to try to make these into blueberry and mango versions!
