So this is the last Chinese New Year recipe I’ll be posting for a while, since the New Year was technically yesterday. I love nian gao, especially if it’s reheated in the frying pan (you don’t even need oil). This recipe is a baked version, technically you are supposed to steam it and then fry it, but this way is easier for me since I don’t have a steamer big enough to make it in. This recipe is the same as the one posted here, but it looks nothing like the image they have (I believe they’re showing a picture of a steamed cake, which is sort of funny since the recipe is for baked cake).

Ingredients

• 1 package of rice flour (roughly 2 cups)
• 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups of milk
• 1 – 1 1/2 cups of sugar (I used a mix of sugars, but it’s really up to you)
• 1 tbsp of baking soda
• Sesame seeds
• You can also add pitted red dates
