Hi Leslie,
trying to make your original nian gao, when trying to carmelize the sugar, it keep burning, even though top layer still has sugar which haven't melted yet. I am using a pot like yours in the picture, should I use sauce pan instead?
Please help. Tried making 3 times already.. :(
Thanks,
Sandrine
Sandrine:
how about keep stirring the sugar at low flame? did you try this method? Hmmm...I'm using Hard Anodized pot..but you still can use regular pot....when the color of the sugar turn carmelize then add in water..good luck!! let me how you doing..
Thanks for sharing this!
Would love to make this next year as mil loves nian gao! Never knew the ingredients are so few!
