Just when saying 'Happy New Year' was gettin' stale, the Chinese New Year eggrolls in. Happy Year of the sOX!Nian Gao
The Chinese believe it's imperative to have the right food to start off the CNY & the sweet rice cake is a must. Most popular in eastern China because its pronunciation is a homophone for "a more prosperous year". Painstakingly prepared by grinding rice into powdered form, then steamed with brown sugar for more than 15 hours so as to achieve the caramelized brown color, these cakes are fried with batter & are best eaten piping hot.
