Nian Gao

Best Nian Gao Near Me

Nian Gao is a chewy, subtly sweet glutinous rice cake made from glutinous rice flour, brown sugar or white sugar, and water, often steamed into round or rectangular molds. Its name is a homophone for "higher year" (年高), symbolizing prosperity, growth, and good fortune, making it a staple offering during Lunar New Year celebrations. Originating from Southern China, particularly Jiangnan and Cantonese regions, Nian Gao is traditionally steamed and sliced, then sometimes pan-fried with egg for a crispy exterior. It can also be served plain, sweetened with coconut, or adapted into savory versions in Northern China. Common variations include layered coconut Nian Gao or red bean-filled versions.
