I forgot to share this nian gao dish earlier. It’s today! Usually, people eat this on the 20th day of CNY. (often celebrated as “Sky-Mending Day” or Tian Chuan by the Hakka community). Some eat it on the 9th day. Actually, any day will do. There are many ways to do it. However, if you don’t want to deal with lots of oil and deep frying, you can try this out. Just use popiah skin and pan-fry it. Easier and less messy.
You can have the sweet potato and yam wrap inside the popiah skin too. Just make sure you steam them first so that they’re cooked. Then, you don’t have to pan fry it for too long or worry about uncooked sweet potato and yam.
Did you eat nian gao this year?
