Baked Nian Gao

 

This is a Must-Do annual bake for Chinese New Year. Usually I would use about 60 eggs for this item. The recipe has been refined and fine-tuned to our taste, health choice and tight budget (reduce the eggs).

Eggs in 2022-2023 has been in great shortage. One tray of 30 eggs Size AA used to be RM15, now no more in sale. Size A used to be RM12, now its RM24. Even Size B used to be RM11, now its RM22.  

6 - 8 Eggs (Size A) / 4 AA Eggs will

[500 ml water - to cook with Gula Melaka till melted 

[500 Gula Melaka (solid pieces) to boil in water till melt and filter 

500 gm Glutinous Rice

1 tsp Baking Powder

 160 C 50 mins - add 10 mins if still need.

I made them as round cakes to give away.
