Easy Chinese Stir-fried Nian Gao Rice Cakes

While I was growing up, my father often cooked this dish of stir-fried rice cakes (chao nian gao 炒年糕). Slices of soft and chewy sticky rice cakes made from glutinous rice flour are stir-fried with veggies and protein in a savory sauce. It's common for the Chinese to eat this over Chinese New Year because of its homophone with other words like nian (year) gao (high), which means may you reach higher every year or may you grow or get taller every year. Unless you're already Yao Ming tall. Then you're probably good and your mom won't make you eat this. Ingredients for Marinade 1 lb (About 450 g) of beef sirloin (fat trimmed, sliced into thin strips) or any chicken, pork, or tofu or other protein A few dashes of White Pepper A pinch of Sea Salt ½ Tbsp Shoaxing Wine ½ Tbsp Soy Sauce 2 tsp Corn Starch 1 tsp Sesame or Peanut Oil Ingredients for Stir-Fry 2 Tbsp of Peanut Oil or any wok oil 3 Cloves Garlic, chopped (or a heaping Tbsp of minced garlic) 2 inch Ginger, chopped or thinly sliced 6 Stalks Scallions, sliced or 1 Leek 1 Stalk of Celery or fibrous vegetable 1 package of Mushrooms (shiitake or any kind) Ingredients for Stir-Fry Sauce 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce 1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce 1 tsp Oyster Sauce 1 ½ tsp Sugar ½ tsp Sesame Oil 5 Tbsp of Water Sea Salt, to taste Optional topping: crispy bacon. Mix the beef or proteins with white pepper, sea salt, wine, soy sauce, corn starch, and peanut or sesame oil. Let it hang for 30 mins. Heat the oil in a large wok or cast iron pan until hot. Brown the meat briefly and remove. Add 1 tbsp of peanut oil and cook ginger, garlic, scallions until fragrant. Toss is leeks, or any vegetables that take longer to cook (ie celery). Then incorporate rice cakes, stir and add stir-fry sauce. Mix well and then add mushrooms and faster-cooking vegetables (ie bok choy.) Add cooked beef and stir for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Move to serving bowl and top with bacon for some optional crunch and savory flavor.
