Lunar New Year Sticky Rice Cake 3 Ways ("neen Goh""nian Gao")
This sweet, sticky rice cake is traditionally served on Chinese New Year as an end to the meal. The most ubiquitous flavor of this dish is plain, flavored with molasses, but I've made my own versions to make it more exciting (I hated how plain it was as a kid). After steaming the rice cake, it's common in Cantonese households to pan fry slices to crisp them up, resulting in the best mix of hot, crunchy, and chewy. The bonus is that Chinese superstition says that this dish is supposed to make you grow taller and bring you prosperity.
