Pork and rice cake stir fry, made with the homemade preserved mustard greens, oyster sauce, soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, garlic, Shaoxing wine, etc. 4 days in the making. Although it's a little belated, this is a traditional Chinese New Year dish. Because the words for rice cake (nian gao) are pronounced the same as the words for "year" and "high." Put together, it's supposed to be taken as "every year being higher/greater than the last."
