Fixings

600 gr glutinous rice flour

600 ml water

400 gr dull earthy colored sugar or use gula Jawa/Melaka or coconut sugar

50 gr white sugar

1 Tbsp cooking oil nonpartisan tasting

4-5 long sheets of banana leaves whenever frozen defrosted first

Discretionary:

Zing of one orange

Size of dish you really want:

7 x 3 inch round cake skillet ideal for liner and 6-quart moment pot

2 5 x 3 inch round cake container to fit in sluggish cooker or liner or tension cooker

Guidelines

Assuming utilizing a 7-inch round skillet, the cake will be around 1 1/2-2 inch in level. In the event that utilizing 5-inch round skillet, you will require 2 container and the cake will be around 2 1/2 or near 3 crawls in level. You can likewise utilize 6 inch round skillet as well

Set up the banana leaves (if utilizing):

Whiten the banana leaves in hot bubbling water for around 5 minutes to relax it. Then, at that point, wipe off and save

Cut the banana leaves into 7-inch width and around 7-8 inch length. Line the leaf on a level plane and afterward in an upward direction like a "+" (covering at the lower part of the dish) and afterward corner to corner like an "X" to ensure I cover all the side and lower part of the dish. Rehash this example for 2 additional times. For slow cooker, skirt down to ease back cooker to peruse the guidance

Plan nian gao hitter:

Place both sugar and water in a pan and bring to a delicate stew or until sugar is liquefied. Eliminate from the hotness and let it cool down totally. Strain the blend if involving gula Jawa or gula Melaka as now and again there are a few contaminations in the sugar

Step by step pour the sugar blend and oil into the flour and mix until smooth. On the off chance that bumps perseveres, basically strain it with a strainer and fill the pre-arranged container fixed with banana leaves. Add the orange zing on the off chance that you intend to utilize and mix to consolidate. On the off chance that you don't utilize banana leaves, daintily oil the sides and lower part of the prospect discharge later

Liner strategy:

Set up the liner by carrying the water to a moving bubble. Give the nian gao hitter a mix and empty nian gao player into the pre-arranged dish and cover with aluminum foil or wrap the top of the liner with a dry kitchen towel. Put inside the liner and steam on high hotness for 30 minutes and afterward bring down the hotness and steam for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or longer. You might have to top off the water in the liner all through the cooking system. Try not to allow it to dry out

The nian gao will in any case show up extremely delicate toward the finish of cooking time and that is exceptionally ordinary. You really want to let the nian gao cool down totally. Wrap them up with plastic covering and they will be prepared in 2 days. At day 3, the nian gao will be considerably more firm and can be cut. After day 3, I prescribe to wrap them up and keep them in the fridge or they can begin to get rotten (in light of the fact that we don't put additives). They can save for quite a long time in the cooler anyway

Slow cooker strategy :

For slow cooker, you want a more modest round skillet or jars fixed with banana leaves that can fit in your sluggish cooker. Heat an enormous pot of water to the point of boiling. Place the nian gao inside the sluggish cooker and wrap the top with a launder clorth and afterward cautiously empty in the bubbling water into the sluggish cooker up to the place where you top off the player. Cook on low for 10-12 hours. It will in any case show up to some degree delicate, yet all the same that is typical. Eliminate from the sluggish cooker and let them cool down totally

Moment pot strategy:

Empty 1 cup of water into the internal pot. Set the trivet. Put the nian gao on top of the trivet. Cover with aluminum foil. Close the top. Pressure discharge valve to seal and press pressure cooker, high strain. I suggest utilizing aluminum or tempered steel dish as they lead heat better. I don't suggest utilizing a thick glass compartment. Set the clock to an hour and afterward stand by 5 minutes to deliver pressure

The cake will in any case show up exceptionally delicate. Assuming you utilize a chopstick to jab the center of the cake, nothing ought to adhere to the chopstick, in the event that there is, the cake isn't cooked through yet

Chilling off and putting away:

Allow it to chill off totally and afterward wrap with aluminum foil. Allow it to sit at room temperature for something like 24 hours prior to unmoulding or endeavoring to cut. They will get marginally firmer. They can be kept at room temperature for as long as multi week on the off chance that it's not damp. They can be refrigerated for as long as a half year.
