China is famous for its delicious food. Especially during festivals, there are different traditional foods. Among them is niangao.
Niangao is very popular during the Spring Festival. The pronunciation of niangao sounds like the Chinese characters for year and high, which means higher incomes(收入), better jobs, higher marks, the growth of children, and the promise of a better year.
Niangao is usually made from glutinous rice(糯米) flour and water. The tastes can be divided into two main kinds: sweet niangao popular across China and salty niangao popular in southern China. Salty and sweet tastes are both fantastic. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, people can put different things inside niangao, such as flower sugar, oil and sweet red beans.

. The ways to make niangao include braising(炖), stir-frying, deep-frying, piece-frying, cooking soup, and so on. Stir-fried niangao with sugar is quite popular. Stir-fried niangao with shepherd’s purse(荠菜) is also delicious. Chicken soup niangao appears in many family on Chinese New Year’s Eve.
