Crispy Baked Gau Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Crispy Baked Gau is a traditional Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour. It is a popular treat during Chinese New Year celebrations. The gau has a soft and chewy texture on the inside, while the outside is crispy and golden brown. It is often filled with sweet ingredients like red bean paste or coconut. This recipe provides a healthier alternative to the traditional deep-fried version by baking the gau instead.
