In the days at home, my family likes to drink this porridge. The staple food and porridge are made in one pot, and each person will be full! After the outbreak began, our family was quite nervous, because each of them required to go out for shopping every two days, so we prepared as many vegetables as possible, such as potatoes, onions and sweet potatoes, in case it rained. You can avoid the risk of going out for a few days without going downstairs. Potatoes and onions are both vegetables and can be eaten fried, but sweet potatoes are stored but eaten as staple food.
Northerners love to eat sweet potatoes.
