    This is a steamed glutinous rice cake that Chinese eat during the Chinese New Year to bring luck and family togetherness.

    Ingredients

    • 400gm glutinous rice flour
    • 300gm Chinese brown slab sugar
    • 220gm Coconut cream
    • 155gm water

    Directions

    1. 1. In a saucepan, boil water and brown slab sugar until the sugar melted. Take it off heat and stir in the coconut cream. Leave to cool.
    2. 2. While waiting for it to cool. Cut the parchment paper to fit in the steaming cup that you prepared. I used porcelain ramekins.
    3. 3. When cooled, add in the glutinous rice flour and mix into a thick batter. Scoop batter into each ramekin evenly.
    4. 4. Steam in high heat for 60 minutes or until cooked.
    5. 5. Let it cool on wire rack. Stamp with a good luck symbol if you have one. If not, just do it like me, take a red packet with good luck symbol, cut it out and place it on the nian gao when it is still warm.
