What better way to finish off your Lunar New Year meals with a sweet-savoury Fried Nian Gao?

Think crispy, caramelised exterior and soft, mochi-like Nian Gao within. Even the pickiest of eaters would love this sweet, chewy, glutinous rice cake dish.

Taste the sweetness of the gooey, homemade Nian Gao balanced out by the more earthy taste of sweet potato and yam by following our recipe and creating your very own Fried Nian Gao in your kitchen.
