Nian Gao (年糕, Lunar New Year Cake) | Cooking with Mama Lin

Celebrate Lunar New Year with nian gao (年糕), a steamed rice cake made of glutinous rice flour and brown sugar. In Cantonese, it is pronounced neen go (or neen goh). I like waiting a few days to cut into the cake and pan frying the slices to eat. The pan frying is a GAME CHANGER. I actually didn't enjoy eating nian gao as much until I discovered pan frying as a thing. FULL RECIPE HERE: https://healthynibblesandbits.com/nia... INGREDIENTS 1 pound (455g) glutinous rice flour 4 teaspoons ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 12.5 ounces (355g) brown sugar bricks (can sub with 2 cups packed dark brown sugar) 1 1/2 (370g) cups water 1 cup (225g) canned full-fat coconut milk 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil, plus more for greasing 1 teaspoon kansui 1 red date (jujube) for garnish If you like to dip it in egg, scramble 1 egg and whisk in 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out (makes it easier to coat the nian gao pieces). 0:00​ Intro 0:35​ Making Batter 3:11 Steaming Nian Gao 3:49 Overheating/Undercooking Nian Gao 4:28 Testing Cake 4:46 Pan Frying Nian Gao 5:06 Tasting 5:32 End FOLLOW ME HERE: Blog: http://healthynibblesandbits.com​ Instagram:   / hellolisalin​   Facebook:   / hellolisalin​   Pinterest:   / hellolisalin​
