Also found this recipe from this blog http://hungerhunger.blogspot.com/2007/09/mitarashi-dango.html
Mitarashi Dango
2 cups glutinous rice flour
3/4 to 1 cup boiling water
1 T fine sugar (optional)
1. Put flour and sugar into a bowl, pour the hot water in and stir with a pair of chopsticks till water is all absorbed. Knead with your iron hands. Add 1 0r 2 tablespoons of flour if the dough is too soft, or some water (doesn't have to be boiling) if too crumbly. It should be soft yet firm enough to hold its shape, like playdough.
2. Roll into 1 " balls and drop into a pot of boiling water.(Do not make balls too big or you'll gag because it is made of sticky rice after all.) After 2 to 3 minutes, scoop balls out when they float to the surface. Let them cool.
3. Skewer balls 3 to a stick (or leave unskewered and serve with toothpicks) and drizzle the sweet soy sauce over.
Sweet Soy Sauce (I skipped two ingredients as they may not be suitable for the Islamic diet)
2 T Kikkoman sauce
3 T fine sugar
1/2 cup water
Boil above ingredients (you can add more sugar or soy sauce, to your preference) over medium fire till almost thick (sauce will thicken further on cooling).
Cool.
