Most Chinese New Year dishes have names that sound like good or fortunate things, such as, fish （Yu） for abundance and New Year rice cake (Nian Gao) for advancement. The rising effect of the cake during baking symbolizes advancement (Gao Sheng), so it is no surprise that parents will urge their children to have Nian Gao during the Chinese New Year. Below is the recipe for the Chinese Rice Cake or Nian Gao. Try it and may you have advancement year after year (Nian Nian Gao Sheng).
