Step 2

Next blend 10 strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar then strain using a sieve to remove the seeds .Add one tablespoon of the strawberry syrup to 1/3 of the dough to color it pink then add roughly 2 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour to make it into a dough . Add 1/2 tsp matcha powder to 1/3 of the dough and knead until it’s combined and the dough is green . Roll the dough into balls . It makes about 6 of each color depending on how large you roll them . Now set aside a large bowl with ice water in it . Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the white dango balls first . When they start to float simmer two more minutes then strain and put in the ice water . Next boil the pink and then do the green .
