Can you please update the recipe with how much sugar? I am going to try 4 slabs of brown sugar. Hopefully it’s close.

In reply to Kevin. I have the same question, don't see the amount of slab sugar to use, and can I substitute with light brown sugar instead.

Hello Elaine, and happy Chinese New Year, Year of the Rabbit!

I love your recipies and your site! I would love to make Nian Gao tonight, it looks delicious, and of course I can always use a little luck too! 🙂

But, I don’t see the amount of slab brown sugar in the recipe? Did I miss it or were you so excited to post this great recipe it got overlooked?

Also, for those who have no slab brown sugar, could light brown sugar be substituted, and if so, what amount would be used?

Thanks again Elaine, keep up the great work, I find many great recipes here and always seem to pick up a good tip or technique as well, be well!

Kevin
