Combining two of my favourites. Much like baked nian gao 年糕 (Chinese New Year cake), it’s chewy and gummy-like with a crusty outer edge. Being not too sweet, these are very addictive!
This is one recipe that you can mix easily, pop in the oven and do something else. For matcha lovers like myself, dust off with a generous layer of matcha on top.
