Ingredients

  • 50 grams Buckwheat (soba) flour
  • 50 grams Shiratamako
  • 70 ml Water
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 1 tsp Katakuriko

Method

  • Mix together the buckwheat and shiratamako, then add water a little at a time until the dough becomes soft (until it becomes, as the Japanese say, "to the softness of an ear lobe").
  • Boil water in a pot.
  • Form small, round balls from the dough in Step 1, then drop into boiling water.
  • Scoop them out after a minute from the time they rise to the top.
  • Chill in ice water.
  • To make the syrup, mix all of the syrup ingredients in a pan.
  • Heat on medium, stirring continuously.
  • Once it starts to gently boil and thicken, transfer to a dish and let cool to room temperature.
  • Pour on the dumplings, then serve.
  • They are slightly chewier than dumplings made with just shiratamako and their texture will become addictive.
