Commodity management is becoming an increasingly important role within the supply chain community as more and more companies attempt to secure their supplier lines, deliver value for money and develop structured relationships with key suppliers.
Okonomiyaki Flour is a Japanese flour that contains wheat flour and dried, ground Yamaimo powder in it as an added starch for additional binding power, and flavour. Some brands contain katsuo (powdered bonito) as well. It is used to make Okonomiyaki.
For the shiratamako or mochiko, substitute 'sweet' rice flour (one that is labeled 'sweet' or 'glutionous'), which is not actually sweet to taste like sugar; it's just more sticky. You can find these rice flours at general Asian or Chinese grocery stores, as well as some health food stores.ep that's why I use a mixture of flours in the mitarashi dango recipe. For anmitsu I use just shiratama flour (which is just sweet rice flour with potato starch), which are quite a bit softer. But I do know people who use shiratama only for dango-it turns out ok, if a bit soft.
