Shanghai Nian Gao Tuesday, November 27, 2007 |

Another dish that I made recently, Shanghai cuisine, called Nian Gao also called shanghai nian gao. The main ingredient is rice cake or glutinous rice that is pounded or ground into paste and molded into shape. To prepare this dish you will need in advance preparation because you will need to soak the rice cake for at least 12 hours and also soak the Shitake mushroom.

1 small bowl rice cake (soaked for over night)
3-4 Shitake mushroom (soaked for over night and sliced)
1-2 bunch of yiu choi/ nappa cabbage/ kai lan
1-2 carrots (sliced)
1 tbs dark soy sauce
2 tbs oyster sauce
1 tbs sugar
water mix with little starch (tapioca/ corn)
Chicken stock, salt and pepper

How to prepare:
Marinade chicken/ pork with dark soy sauce. Heat up oil and stir fry the meat until 3/4 cooked and add oyster sauce and sliced carrots then fry for awhile (so that it will become soft in the end). Then, add the rest of ingredients and mix it well. In the end put some water mixed with starch to make it a little gravy and ready to serve ~yum yumm Y( ^^.)Y

if you have a rice cooker, then you can do it the 'lazy' way:
- put the cooked chicken at the bottom of the rice cooker container
- put the seasoned (uncooked) rice on top of the chicken
- add soup water in it, twice the volume of the rice
- turn the rice cooker on, wait until it's cooked
if you don't have any rice cooker:
- prepare small heat-resistant bowls
- spoon 1 tbsp of the cooked chicken into the bottom of the bowl
- add 3 tbsp of seasoned (uncooked) rice
- add ±100 ml broth in the bowl
- steam for about 1-1,5 hour or until rice is cooked

How to make Acar:
