Today we celebrate the Chinese New Year – Gung Hay Fat Choy!
Different regions of China celebrates the new year differently, especially in the culinary area. Part of my own family tradition is to make rice cake. Ingredients include glutinous rice flour, cane sugar and coconut milk.

After mixing all the ingredients together, my mom would pour the mixture in moulds that she bought in Chinatown.

And all it takes is to steam them, then voila, we’ve got some yummy rice cakes in different shapes and sizes.

Lastly, I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous year of the Rabbit!
