步步高升 - 煎年糕！

Mom fried these Nian Gao (年糕), or "Year Cake" i called ;) Its sweetness has a very Chinese New Year 'feel' to me. I love them! Had almost forgotten how they tasted like, having missed them last year!

Making up to us, Mom prepared the elaborated recipe that includes pan-frying slices of Nian Gao and Tapioca in Flour Egg batter.

Batter Recipe, for every 100g Nian Gao

50g flour

50ml ice water

a pinch baking powder (optional)

1 egg

1 tsp oil

STEPS:

1. Cut the Nian Gao and Tapioca into your desired thickness slices.

2. Work the batter to the right consistency.
3. Place 1 piece of Nian Gao between 2 slices of Tapioca. Dip them into the batter and pan-fried over medium heat for 1-2 mins until golden brown.

Such classic recipe!
With my hour-glass figure at stake, I pledged defenseless, eaten 3 big pieces tonight. Yummy!
