Dango

A chewy treat on a stick made with balls of glutinous rice flour dough, boiled first and then grilled on a skewer.

2⁄3 cup water (warm water)
3 tablespoons sugar (and a little more for a sweet sauce)

Mix mochiko and water to form a dough.

Shape the dough into small balls.

Boil the balls until they float to the surface, then let them cook for a few more minutes.

Thread three or four balls onto each skewer.
