[Recipe] Fried Nian Gao

Here's grandma's recipe for Fried Nian Gao (年糕)!

We have this every CNY!

Some call it Year Cake (direct translation) or sticky cake.

This year we bought ours from the famous 大中国 (Da Zhong Guo)

Was recommended by my colleagues and we went to buy it together during lunch.

They have a factory at Ubi which is near our workplace!

Tai Chong Kok

302 Kampong Ubi Avenue 1 #01-39/41, Singapore 400302

The whole place was filled with the smell of Nian Gao.

Can see them roasting stuffs the banana leaves, etc.

Love their paper bags! It's the traditional looking kind!

I was told by my colleagues and grandpa that they are very famous for their nian gao (during CNY) and their mooncakes (during Mid-autumn festival)!

Difference between Da Zhong Guo Nian Gao and those that you can buy in the marts.

Da Zhong Guo ones are lighter in color and less sweet.

I find that the supermarket ones have a weird taste (after eating them one after another to compare).

Ingredients:

Spring Roll Wrap

Nian Gao (sliced)

Egg White

1. Take a piece of Spring Roll Wrap

2. Place a slice of Nian Gao on the Spring Roll Wrap

3. Wrap it up like an envelop

i.e. flip the bottom up, followed by left and right, followed by the top

4. Using the Egg White, "stick" the end of the wrap

To make sure that it does not open up when fried

5. Fry them on your frying pan!

Not alot of oil is needed ;)

6. Dry them (or remove excess oil) on a piece of kitchen paper

And they are done! Yummy!

It's my favorite! I prefer this method to the dipping in flour method.

Cooking On National Day! :)

Hahas!

Yes so I ended up cooking on national day!

What did i cook??

SPAGHETTI!!

Above are all the ingredients I used!

1. San Remo Spaghetti

2. Leggo's Carbonara Creamy Pasta Sauce

3. Mili Mushroom

4. Minced Meat

5. Ham

FIRST

Boil the water

SECOND

Place the spaghetti in the water. Initially its hard so must slowly push it into the pot.

THIRD

Wait for it to be cooked!

FOURTH

Drain away the hot water and wash with cold tap water.

They say this will make the spaghetti taste better :)

FIFTH

Cook the pasta sauce and add the other ingredients (mushroom, minced meat, ham) in.

SIXTH

Add in the sphagetti.

I did this cause we were going to eat immediately.

If you are not eating it immediately, cook them separately.

THEN YOU ARE DONE AND READY TO EAT!

YUM YUM! :)

There is really limited stuff I can cook! hahas. 

In the future if I become a housewife, my family will be eating the same food everyday! =X

I can only cook:

Spaghetti

Fried Rice

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Scramble Eggs

Sushi

Konnyaku Jelly

Jelly Cheese Cake

I think that's all I know! :( Some of them aren't even proper meals.

I want to learn how to bake though. Starting from cupcakes!

So...

DADDY! FASTER BUY ME A BAKING OVEN!
