Nian Gao, or "Year Cake," is a traditional Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour and water. It is often steamed and has a sticky, chewy texture. Nian Gao is typically enjoyed during the Lunar New Year celebrations, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune for the coming year. The cake can be served in various ways, such as sliced and pan-fried or used in savory dishes. In addition to its delicious taste, Nian Gao holds cultural significance, as its name sounds like "year high," representing growth and progress in the new year.
