Lucy Wang’s Hanami Dango
The Sakura Matsuri, also known as the Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrates the spring season! These squishy treats make adorable drink garnishes and are a great kids' activity (they're basically nontoxic play dough and a lot less messy). If you want to prep them in advance, make the balls but don’t boil them just yet! Sprinkle a little glutinous rice flour on them and freeze them in an airtight container. Boil them right before you plan to serve them. —Lucy Wang, Los Angeles, California
