【Northeast】New Year Cake
Overview
The New Year's Eve dishes are pretty much the same across the country, such as chicken, fish, meat, shrimp, etc., but the methods are different and the taste is different. The meanings are also very auspicious, such as four happy meatballs, abundance every year, a house full of gold and jade...etc., happiness and auspiciousness. Here I want to say that my hometown in Northeast China also has another delicacy that must be eaten during the New Year, rice cakes and pancakes. Nian gao Nian gao - every year it gets better and better every year. The beautiful meaning can be reflected literally. Northeastern rice cakes are easy to make, easy to learn, and taste very good. There are two types: yellow rice noodles and glutinous rice noodles. My hometown usually grinds the noodles with water. Now it is difficult to grind the noodles yourself. Today I made this rice cake with ready-made glutinous rice flour. It tastes great and is easy to make. Let’s learn how to make it together

Ingredients
Steps
-
Add water to glutinous rice flour and mix it into a relatively soft dough. Adjust the amount of water according to the type of glutinous rice flour you use. The dough should be softer and let it rest for 10 minutes
-
Pull off a piece of dough and directly round it with your hands into a cake shape
-
Put in the bean paste, try to put as much bean paste as possible. I used bean paste cooked with red kidney beans and sugar. You can use ready-made bean paste, etc.
