Japanese Sweet - Shiratama (Rice Flour Dumplings) and Kanten (Agar) Jelly

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

I'm exhausted by the current heat and humidity in Japan😅, so I made "shiratama kanten," a Japanese sweet made of shiratame (rice flour dumplings; 2nd photo), kanten (agar) jelly, and syrup-soaked oranges😋. The shiratama dumplings are a kind of mochi and kanten jelly has almost no calories. So, the sweet has no fat and so is very healthy!! As always it's easy to cook!

• Mix shiratama powder and water and knead the mixture with your hands until smooth.
• Divide the dough and shape each into a ball of 1 cm in diameter.
• Put the shiratama balls in boiled water for about 3 minutes until floating to the surface.
• When floating to the surface, remove them from the pot and put them into cold water.
• Serve the dumplings, kanten jelly and syrup soaked oranges in a small bowl.  

You can make shiratama dumplings if you have shiratama powder, mochi powder or dango powder, all of which are made from rice flour.

暑さと湿度に負けております😅。ということで作りました。白玉寒天です！白玉作ったのは初めて。でも水と混ぜてこねてゆでるだけで簡単でした。冷やしていただきました。サイコー😋
