Pan-Fried Nian Gao
Making Nian Gao, a steamed rice cake dessert, is an important Chinese tradition to celebrate the Lunar New Year. However, this sweet, chewy dessert slowly hardens in 2-3 days. Making pan fried nian gao is a delicious solution to enjoying nian gao during the two-week celebration. It's fine if you have more or less nian gao for this recipe. I pan fried half of a nian gao and still had extra egg leftover for dipping. Egg free option in the notes below.
