The Dorodango recipe is below!
[ Recipe ]
• Fine soil: 40g
• Clay powder: 110g
• Water: 20g
• Water for wetting: 50g
• Olive oil: 3 drops
• Clay for dusting: 1 teaspoon
[ Tools ]
• For scraping: Glass with sharp edges
• For polishing: Rounded ceramic or glass
• For finishing: Soft, fine-textured cloth
[ Additional Notes ]
Japanese soil ideal for dorodango has a high level of stickiness and viscosity. To replicate this, a few drops of olive oil are added to the water used for polishing.
Japanese soil also contains fine particles called “silt.” Since it’s hard to find that here, fine sand is used as a substitute. In Japan, the outer coating is usually a mix of sand and soil, but due to the coarse grains available here, only clay is used for the outer coating to achieve a smooth and beautiful finish.
