New Year 'Cake' 年糕


The sticky New Year cake is quite easy to make but for some reason people would make the more difficult ones but buy this kind. Cane sugar is dissolved in hot water then poured onto a mixture of sweet rice starch and fine wheat starch. The dough is worked until firm to give it texture and then water is added to make a cake batter looking batter and steams in cake pan until set. Chewy, sticky, sweet and comforting, cold or pan fry with a little egg.
