Chinese New Year’s dishes are similar all over the country. Chicken, fish, shrimp, etc., are different methods and tastes. The meaning is also very auspicious, four happy balls, more than every year, full of gold and jade... etc., happiness and auspiciousness.
Here I would like to say that there is another delicacy in my hometown in Northeast China that must be eaten during the Chinese New Year, rice cakes.
Nian gao nian gao—higher year after year, higher year by year.
The beautiful meaning can be reflected literally.
The rice cakes in Northeast China are easy to operate, easy to learn, and taste very good. There are two types of rice noodles and glutinous rice noodles. My hometown usually uses water milled noodles. Rice cakes, the taste is great, it’s easy to make, let’s learn how to make them."

Ingredients

【northeast】new Year Cakes

1. Add water to the glutinous rice flour to make a softer dough. Adjust the amount of water according to the glutinous rice flour you use. The dough should be softer and let stand for 10 minutes.

2. Pull off a piece of dough and directly reunite with your hands and pat into a pie shape

3. Put in bean paste, try to put more bean paste, I use red kidney beans boiled with sugar, you can use ready-made bean paste, etc.

4. Fast package

5. Heat one side of the flat-bottomed spoon at a low temperature in advance, apply a layer of oil, and put the finished cake directly on the bottom of the pan, pat with your hands, make one and put one, don’t make it in advance, the size can be whatever you want

6. Fry on low heat and turn over both sides

7. After molding, you can fry it until it is golden.

Tips:
The dough for rice cakes is softer than the dough for gnocchi, and the noodles can feel a little shaky when you put them in your hands. Prepare the bean paste in advance and pack it quickly. After wrapping, put it directly in the wok and bake it.
Put a little oil at the beginning to prevent sticking, and it will be more fragrant after being fried.
The bean paste for the nian gao pie is best boiled with red kidney beans. If you are lazy, you can use ready-made bean paste, but the red kidney beans are delicious.
