Nian Gao is a traditional food for the Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival. Especially in the south, there is a custom of making and eating rice cakes during the Chinese New Year. Nian Gao, also known as "Nian Gao", sounds like "Nian Gao" and means that people's work and life are improving year by year. In my hometown, it is necessary to eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, which represents people's longing for a better life. The traditional handmade rice cake production process is particularly complex and requires seven steps: soaking rice, grinding flour, squeezing water, sieving, steaming flour, pounding flour, and shaping. Especially the process of pounding flour is particularly laborious. If pounded too much, it is easy to become hard, and if pounded too soft, it is also easy to become sticky. Often, several people work together, and the workers can sweat profusely even in the hot winter. And the final shaping is our favorite program among the younger generation, where black sesame seeds are mixed with white sugar as filling, and the rice cake is squeezed into the shape of ingots and fish. Those who don't like sweet food can be made into salty ones. They can be wrapped with some Shredded pork and hot pickled mustard greens with mustard tuber, which is also special. Everyone is together in harmony and beauty, chatting and laughing, enjoying the food of old and young, and the taste of the New Year is full.
