Coconut & Yam Paste Crispy Nian Gao Stick (aka OrNee Nian Gao Stick) 椰香芋泥年糕棒

When I ask my 7yo son what he wants for Chinese New Year, he wants me to make Pork Jerky for him.....when my sister ask me the same question, my answer is always the same - Traditional Nian Gao! 

My new creation ~ Coconut & Yam Paste Nian Gao Stick ~ was an unplanned experiment. I wanted to make yam paste dessert at first but after pureed the yam, I realised that I did not have shallot to make shallot oil. So I changed my mind to add some flour mixture (based on my last year creation - Baked Purple Sweet Potato Nian Gao Mochi flour ratio to form a thick paste, then coat it on Nian Gao and pan fry. 

Before you continue with this blog, I must tell you, this is not a foolproof recipe. The thick and sticky yam paste isn't easy to handle. But, trust me, the result is awesome! It turned out so tasty and addictive! The outer crust is crispy and the inner part is chewy. Non greasy because I pan fried it with minimal oil used. This is something you must try if you are a Nian Gao lover like me ;) 



Ingredients: (Yield 6 - 3inch Nian Gao Stick)
~I must say this is ONE serving, I finished eating all 6 by myself! 

80g Steamed Yam (steamed with pandan leaves for 30 minutes) 
蒸好的芋头80克（加一些班兰叶一起蒸30分钟）

3 tbsp Coconut Milk 
椰奶3汤匙

Note:
The amount of coconut milk used is based on the moisture of the yam, do adjust accordingly. 椰奶的份量需自己拿捏。
