Nian Gao literally means “higher year” in Mandarin.
This special Chinese New Year Cake is believe to improve one’s luck in the coming year. Similar in texture to mocha, is our non-traditional baked version of a baked coconut cake that is moist and almost bouncy.
This sticky rice cake also symbolizes self-improvement and good luck.
The sweetness of this treat is believed to raise up oneself in the New Year.
Traditionally made with glutinous rice powder and brown sugar.

1 medium size Nian Gao (Chinese New Year Cake aka Sticky Cake)
Half fresh crated coconut
Salt to taste
Half fresh crated coconut
Salt to taste
Method
Remove the banana leave encasing the Nian Gao.
I normally choose the harder Nian Gao for easy handling or if the Nian Gao is soft, refrigerate a day before preparing this dessert.
Cut the Nian Gao into small pieces with an oiled knife.
Steam the Nian Gao until soft.
Add some salt and mixed well with the fresh juicy crated coconut to bring out the flavour of the sweet Nian Gao.
After steaming, sprinkle generous amount of the freshly grated coconut into the Nian Gao evenly.
Serve while hot.
