What traditional food is eaten during the Great Cold?What to eat during the Great Cold: Glutinous rice <br /> There is an old saying: "The Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold are cold even without wind." It is a traditional custom to eat glutinous rice in the morning of Lesser Cold and Greater Cold to ward off the cold. People believe that glutinous rice has a higher sugar content than rice. Eating it will make the whole body feel warm and help drive away the cold. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, glutinous rice has the effect of nourishing the middle and replenishing qi, and it is most suitable to eat glutinous rice in cold seasons. In addition, glutinous rice symbolizes warmth, and "warm Li Li" from the beginning of the year to the end of the year is even more auspicious.Glutinous rice is sweet and warm in nature. It has the effect of keeping out the cold and nourishing the body. People can steam glutinous rice, or they can steam glutinous rice, rice, red beans, coix seeds, lotus seeds, wolfberries, longan meat, jujube, etc. together over high heat, and then add some white sugar. It can strengthen the spleen and qi, nourish blood and calm the mind. It is suitable for people with qi and blood deficiency, such as weakness, fatigue and other symptoms. What to eat during the Great Cold: Chicken soup <br /> During the Great Cold winter season, Nanjing people’s daily diet includes more stews and soups. The Great Cold falls around the 49th day of the lunar calendar. The traditional custom of eating one chicken for every 19th day of the lunar calendar is still respected by many families. Nanjing people mostly choose old hens, either stewing them alone or adding ginseng, wolfberries, black fungus, etc. Drinking chicken soup in the cold winter is really a pleasure. It is not advisable to use a pressure cooker for stewing soup, because the nutrients can only be released slowly during the slow cooking process over low heat. Although using a pressure cooker can shorten the time to cook meat, it cannot achieve the same effect as making soup. Therefore, you should use a casserole when making chicken soup, boil it over high heat for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer. In addition, when making soup, try not to lift the lid of the pot, otherwise it will easily cause gas to escape and affect the taste of the chicken soup. What to eat during the Great Cold: Rice Cake <br /> The custom of eating "cold-eliminating cake" has a long history in Beijing. "Xiaohan Gao" is a kind of rice cake. Not only because its glutinous rice has a higher sugar content than rice, it makes the whole body feel warm after eating it. It has the effects of warming up the wind and cold, moistening the lungs and strengthening the spleen and stomach. In addition, people choose to eat rice cake on the day of "Dahan", which also means "older year", bringing good luck, peace every year, and promotion step by step. Therefore, according to the old Beijing custom, on the day of the Great Cold, the whole family shares rice cakes, which not only bring auspiciousness but also can dispel the coldness in the body, so it is called "Xiao Han Cake". |
