Once a year, every year is different. I thought I couldn't find new tricks to play this year, but I was inspired by the tangerine peel chiffon I ate earlier.
There are so many candied tangerine peels, a big jar full, just take this opportunity to consume some more. The liver should be long and sparse, the qi should be smooth, and the dried tangerine peel has the function of rationalizing qi stagnation. While glutinous rice can nourish the qi and warm the spleen and stomach, it is sticky and difficult to digest and absorb. Using this tangerine peel to mix it not only can regulate the qi, it should also be helpful for digestion and stagnation.
The idea was finalized and the direction of action was found. I found ten small red dates, perfect tonic, perfect in every way. What kind of beans, benevolent ones, don’t care, they have to be cooked beforehand if they don’t need much. Just use some raisins, blueberries and dried cranberries. Find the lotus seeds when you turn over the dried fruit. It seems more joyful to eat lotus seeds during the Chinese New Year, so let's have some more lotus seeds.
The rice was steamed, seasoned, posed, and finally served on the New Year’s Eve dinner table. The annual eight-treasure brown sugar rice was so explained. . . . . "

Tips:
The type and amount of dried fruit can be replaced and adjusted according to your preferences.
