Pan-Fried Nian Gao

Make this delicious snack to use up the balance of your Chinese New Year Cake.  It is quick and easy to prepare.  Before slicing the Nian Gao, it is advisable to refrigerate it overnight.

Ingredients:
250 g Nian Gao, to be thinly sliced
2 large eggs
6 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cornflour
a pinch of salt
1 to 2 tbsp cold water
oil for shallow frying

Method:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs lightly.  Then, add flour, cornflour and salt.  Lastly, add enough cold water to form an almost thick batter.  Whisk batter well until smooth.

In a pan, heat enough oil for shallow frying over medium heat.  Dip Nian Gao slices into egg batter and add to pan.  Shallow-fry until golden brown.  Remove to a plate which is lined with kitchen paper.

Serve warm or cold!

Bon Appetit!
