Nian gao (Chinese New Year cake) or ti kuih (sweet cake) is popularly served on Chinese New Year as it symbolised success and togetherness. Eat this sweet cake snack with tea as it is sweet and sticky.
This is how I fry my nian gao. I made some on the 6th day of CNY for breakfast for everyone.
Ingredients:
300g nian gao, sliced in uniform
5 tbsp plain flour, sifted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Cooking oil
Methods:
1. Prepare the nian gao.
2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, egg, and salt till consistent and smooth.
3. Dip nian gao in the batter one by one and into a heated pan with oil.
4. In low fire, fry each side till slightly golden brown.
5. Bite into nian gao while it is warm.

My nian gao still inside the fridge, have not eaten it yet...
Yum stuff, Rose! My favourite kind of snack. :D
I learnt a short cut way to cook nian gao without having to fry it and making the kitchen oily.. They put nian gao pieces in ready-made puff pastry and bake in the oven.. Taste good too :)
You pan fry them. My mom always deep fry them but this year I got none of this. Sobs.
I love nin koe.. that day i fried them with eggs only.. no flour in the fridge and I was too lazy to go out to buy that purposely... anyway, I still have some ... will keep them till i buy the sweet potatoes and yam!

I wrapped in popiah skin and baked instead of deep frying. Nice but I am not all that crazy over nian gao.
I love to eat these. Preferred those deep fried with yam and sweet potatoes.
I am still keeping mine until after the new year. I love nin koe.
