Another homonym (谐音, xié yīn) food, niangao (年糕, also known as Chinese New Year Cake) sounds like 年高, which means 'higher year,' or more grammatically accurately, an increasingly prosperous year. There are many styles of niangao around China, of which our favorite are the Cantonese style (广式年糕, guǎng shì nián gāo), which is sweetened with brown sugar (红糖, hóng táng) and steamed in a round cake, and Shanghainese style, which is often sliced and stir-fried with pork and cabbage.
