Yep one of Anko’s favorite foods is dumplings. Are little hyperactive Jonin loves’ em. But who can blame her?

One of her fave dumplings recipe is Mitarashi Dango(Mitarashi is her last name). So I did a little research and found the recipe.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
3/4 cup warm water
12 bamboo skewers
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 oz konbu (kelp)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Put mochiko in a small bowl; gradually stir in warm water.  Mix until soft dough is formed.  Form dough into 48 dumplings.  Cook dumplings in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain.  Place 4 dumplings on each skewer.  Cook skewered dumplings on grill until lightly browned on all sides.  In a saucepan, add the 1 1/4 cups water and the konbu; bring to a boil.  Remove konbu and discard.  Add sugar, honey, and soy sauce; bring to a boil.  Combine the 1 1/2 tablespoons water and the cornstarch; add to boiling syrup and cook until sauce thickens.  Generously brush sauce over skewered dumplings.  Serve immediately.  Makes 12 skewers

Hope you guys make the best of this recipe, and cook up some yummy dumplings!

Ramen is a Japanese dish of noodles served in broth, it actully comes from China. It differs from native Japanese noodle soup dishes, in that it is served in broth based on meat such as chicken, as well as in the type of noodles and toppings used.

Ramen is served with a variety of toppings, such as sliced pork, seaweed, kamaboko, green onions, and even corn. Almost every locality or prefecture in Japan has its own variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu ramen of Kyūshū to the miso ramen of Hokkaidō.

It’s also Naruto’s favorite food!(Who doesnt know that?)
