Dango soup introduction
Dango-jiru is a typical dish of Oita, where dumplings made by kneading flour and spreading them into strips are made with miso along with vegetables from the four seasons. It is a food that ordinary people used to eat instead of staple foods in times when there was a shortage of rice. It is more chewy than udon, and it is characterized by being able to enjoy a crunchy texture. It looks like a kishimen, but it is said that it came to be called “dango” because it was rolled up for a while when making dumplings. After that, it is made into a thin strip so that the taste is easier to soak in when boiling in soup.
