Nian Gao Red Bean Soup

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Nian gao (年糕)is literally known as “Year cake” in Chinese and is one of the popular desserts served during the Chinese New Year. It’s a sticky, sweet rice cake made of glutinous rice flour and brown sugar. The nian gao is usually cut into slices and pan fried with flour and egg. In order to clear off my store bought nian gao quickly, I cut the nian gao into cubes and drop them into the hot red bean soup. The nian gao will soften in a few minutes and you’ll be surprised – the cubes of nan giao are a little chewy and not very sweet, really yummy! This is definitely another choice of easy dessert served for Chinese New Year!
