The little pieces of art are created from ingredients like sticky rice or adzuki beans pounded into paste.

I told him yes anyway, I really wanted to make it, so we drove all the way to the Asian supermarket to get adzuki beans and sesame oil.

We ended up with more of the chewy exterior than the adzuki bean filling, so I took the extra dduk and made it long and stringy.

Meanwhile, we’ll try to make good use of the hefty cast-iron mold in our kitchen cabinets along with a stock of adzuki beans and canned paste.

The recipe can be adapted to other kinds of cooked beans, including black-eyed peas and Adzuki beans.
