New Year’s customs, different regions have different customs, northerners inevitably have dumplings for New Year, and for southerners, there is no New Year’s atmosphere if they don’t eat rice cakes. In my memory, the atmosphere of the New Year started from making rice cakes from small to large. Years ago, every household was busy making rice cakes, ranging from tens of catties to hundreds of catties at a time, visiting relatives and friends as The souvenirs are very good. The small nian gao means "higher year by year", high school year by year, high work year by year, and higher income year by year! So the people who received the rice cakes were also very happy.
The southern region is wide, and different provinces have different ways of making rice cakes. The authentic Hunan rice cakes are actually made of glutinous rice, which is different from the rice cakes we buy from the supermarket. Korean rice cakes and Yunnan rice cakes are made of sticky rice cakes. Made of rice, the Guangdong rice cake is steamed and fragrant and sticky, which is very different from the Hunan rice cake in taste. You can buy real Hunan glutinous rice cakes, which are all made by machines. They have too much moisture, too delicate taste, and lack the strength. Although some street specialty shops also sell authentic handmade rice cakes, the price is too expensive. It costs more than ten yuan for a catty of glutinous rice for less than two yuan. We can only buy three yuan for a catty of glutinous rice, which is too uneconomical.

Do it yourself at home, it's actually very simple.
The rice cakes can be stored for a long time. After they are cooled, they are directly put into a fresh-keeping bag and stuffed in the refrigerator. It is no problem to eat for ten days. The cold rice cakes become very hard, and they will become soft when heated again. Hunan rice cakes There are many ways to eat it, including frying, roasting, boiling, or steaming. It has no taste in itself, only a faint fragrance of rice. When you eat it, it can be sweetened with salt, sprinkled with soy flour, chili powder, fermented bean curd, and white sugar as you like, all-match!

1. For rice cakes, round glutinous rice is recommended. Round glutinous rice is more sticky and more delicious than long glutinous rice.
After washing the glutinous rice, soak it in clean water overnight. If time is too late, soak it for at least four hours.

3. The steamed glutinous rice is quickly poured into a deeper container while it is hot. Use a rolling pin to quickly mash it into a puree. This step must be fast. Only when the glutinous rice is hot can it be easily mashed. If it is cold, it cannot be mashed. Yes, but you don’t need to mash it too delicately, it’s a little bit more grainy and chewy.

Pinch a little egg yolk, put it in the palm of your hand and knead it to prevent stickiness (vegetable oil can also be used, but the egg yolk is more fragrant), quickly pull the mashed glutinous rice into small doses, and round it slightly (when you pull the dose, move fast , Pick up and put down quickly, so that the glutinous rice will not stick to your hands)

They are made into this shape purely to trick you into coming in. Haha. However, I believe it did not disappoint everyone.

Tips:

The glutinous rice is fully soaked in advance and steamed in water. The steamed glutinous rice has clear grains and will not get wet. The method of nian gao is very simple. The only thing to pay attention to is that the whole operation process should be fast. The glutinous rice will become hard when it is cold and cannot be operated. The shape can be according to your own preferences, and the round, flat, long strips are fine! If you don’t like sweet ones, you can brush them with sauce or put on fermented bean curd Lao Gan Ma.
