The knife must be oiled before slicing nian gao, otherwise it will stick heavily to the blade.
Prepare 50g of flour on a plate, coat the surface of each sliced nian gao with a thin layer of flour, and shake off excess flour.
Watch out
Apply only a thin layer of flour, otherwise it will burn during frying and taste too floury.
Be careful of oil splatters when adding hot oil to avoid burns, and use heat protection when pouring oil and swirling the wok.
Heat the wok, add 15ml of oil to coat the surface evenly, then pour out the excess oil, keeping only a thin layer of oil on the wok.

Transfer the nian gao, fried to golden brown on both sides and soft and cooked through, onto a plate and serve.
Watch out
