Chi chi dango, a mochiko dessert confection, is a soft, chewy Japanese treat that is very similar in taste to mochi. It’s traditionally served at Girl’s Day or Boy’s Day celebrations. It makes a great snack for picnics or parties. This recipe is easy to make, but don’t double the directions — follow them exactly as written.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
- 2 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups water
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon red food color
- ¼ cup potato starch, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Whisk mochiko, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl.
Step 3
Combine water, coconut milk, vanilla, and food coloring in a medium bowl. Blend in dry ingredients, then pour into the prepared pan. Cover with foil.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 5
Dust a work surface with potato starch. Invert the pan onto the work surface. Use a plastic knife to cut into 36 squares.
Tips
The dango mochiko can be sticky to cut. They won't stick as much if you use a plastic knife.
