That's a lotta love!!! Your rice cakes are so pretty, though. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately since they seem so difficult and time-consuming to make) neither my husband nor I are fans of dduk so I guess I'll have to come up with another way to show my love on Valentine's Day. :o) Wow! 7 hours?!?

Your hub. is a lucky man. And 7 hours...salute your patience and perseverence! But that's the right attitude! :) I tend to call them mochi in general and recently found out these are called "daifuku"(in Jp) That’s very sweet of you! Your hub. is a lucky man.

The dough was really difficult to handle. Once I finished making them, my huby said "I should add some kiwi or other kinds of fruit next time" Next time? Are you kidding me? :D Beloved, I am looking forward to seeing your sweet food too. Though once I get used to it, it might take less time, hopefully. Kat, I am so flattered. :) I didn't know that it is called daifuku. Thanks Tigerfish, that is the line I often say to him. "You are a lucky man" :) Food is what makes me happy, and also teaches me how to be patient. Thank you. Sally, Thanks. The dough was really difficult to handle.

They look really cute! practice makes perfect...hope that you will be able to make them in a much shorter time in the future! (you will still make them right??? hehe..) :) I m not sure whther you know about this...but just thought that i'd tell you about it....the Chinese eat a special kind of desserts during the Mid autummn festival and the ingredients of these mooncakes are pretty similiar...differences are that the flour is fried and already cooked so you don't have to microwave it anymore and the filling is made with lotus nut paste..the best part about these snowskin mooncakes are that they are quite pretty cos there are special molds for them...i learnt to make them last year from this website... http://auntyyochana.blogspot.com/2006/09/rainbow-ice-cream-soda-snow-skin.html have a look ok?? Cheerios! hi Sue!!

And 7 hrs?! Wow, my hats off to you. I exclaimed to my boyfriend when scrolling down, "OH MY GOSH! SHE MADE HER OWN RED BEAN PASTE!!" I love dduk, mochi (I didn't know that the more correct name is daifuku in Japanese - I'm learning so much), so thanks so much for posting this recipe. I doubt I can accomplish this - but I do appreciate the eye candy! How yummy-looking and beautiful! And 7 hrs?! Wow, my hats off to you. I exclaimed to my boyfriend when scrolling down, “OH MY GOSH!
