Japanese Style Sundae

There many variations of Japanese Style Sundae, but the key elements are Ice Cream, Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste), Matcha and Dango Dumplings. Today I used Vanilla Ice Cream, but Matcha Ice Cream would be nice. I have come across Sundaes with no Dango Dumplings, and I found it very disappointing. I encourage you to make Dango Dumplings.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

1 cup

Glutinous Rice Flour

1/2 cup

Rice Flour

2 tablespoons

Caster Sugar *optional

1 pinch

Salt

3/4 cup

Warm Water *approximately

1/2-1 teaspoon

Matcha Powder

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make Dango Dumplings, mix Flours, Sugar (if you add it) and Salt in a bowl, add Warm Water gradually, and knead to achieve the firmness of the dough same as firmness of your earlobe. (*This is traditionally taught.) The dough should be a bit dry to the touch.

* Step 2

Divide the dough in half, add Matcha Powder to one half, and knead until well combined. If it gets dry, add a very small amount Water.

* Step 3

Make 2-3cm balls and cook them in plenty of rapidly boiling water. When the dumplings are floating, cook a few more minutes, then drain and place them in icy cold water to cool.

* Step 4

While you are preparing other ingredients, I recommend to place serving bowls or dishes in the fridge and chill them.

* Step 5

Arrange the ingredients in the chilled bowls or dishes in your artistic way and serve. *Note: The orange colour fruit in the photo are dried Apricot. I cooked them in water until soft, and chilled.
