Glutinous rice cake (aka Nian Gao<\/em> in Mandarin or Neen Go<\/em> in Cantonese) is a traditional Chinese sticky, sweet, gelatinous cake that is made around Lunar New Year. “Nian” means sticky, but it also sounds like the word “year” and “Gao” means cake and also sounds like the word “tall”. Therefore, “nian gao” is a cake for a “higher year” or in other words, a better year! Nian gao is very simple to make. Ingredients are simple: glutinous rice flour, dark brown sugar, and water. It just takes some patience with steaming. After steaming, it is cut into pieces and pan fried with oil, resulting in a warm, sticky, sweet bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
