Laba porridge is the first dish of the Chinese New Year. The traditional Gada porridge in Northeast China uses eight main ingredients and eight seasonings, which is consistent with the "eight" of Laba. The main ingredients are rice and beans. Rice includes millet, yellow rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, black rice, barley, oats, corn, sorghum, etc., and beans include red beans, mung beans, black beans, lentils, peas, kidney beans, etc., seasonings The habits are preserved fruits, walnuts, red dates, chestnuts, melon seeds, lotus seeds, peanuts, raisins, longans and so on.
For this year’s Laba porridge, I chose the damp-removing health-care diet, using red beans, barley, oats, buckwheat, chixiaodou and rock sugar. Added jujube, longan, glutinous rice and millet. It has become laba porridge. Barley is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It is also a common and commonly eaten food. It has a sweet, mild and cold taste, which is beneficial for water and swelling, spleen and dampness, relaxation of tendons and numbness, and heat and pus removal. Diuretic dampening medicine. In addition, oatmeal, which has the characteristics of high fiber and low fat, has good effects of moistening bowel, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat, reducing edema, regulating blood sugar, detoxifying and anti-cancer. Modern people are under great mental pressure, heart-qi deficiency, irregular diet, little exercise, and spleen deficiency and dampness. It is necessary to dispel dampness, to invigorate the heart, and to nourish the spleen and stomach, not red beans, barley and oats. With jujube and longan, it is even better to invigorate the heart and qi. When porridge is made, its effective ingredients can be fully absorbed by the human body without causing any burden on the spleen and stomach.
