"Nian Gao" is eaten during Chinese New Year as it signifies success and togetherness. Serve this snack with Chinese tea to aid digestion as nian gao is sticky and filling.

Ingredients

• 300 grams nian gao 年糕 (tikoy)
• 2 eggs beaten
• 5 tbsp plain flour sifted
• 1 tbsp water
• pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. Slice the nian gao to uniform, thin square pieces.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, flour, water and salt until the batter is of a semi-thick and smooth consistency.
3. Heat a pan with oil. Dip nian gao slices in egg batter and pan-fry in batches (add more oil if needed), until lightly browned on both sides. Serve with Chinese tea.
