If you are cooking salty porridge, just add vegetables and oil into it.Zhejiang people usually use walnut kernels, pine nut kernels, lotus seeds, red dates, longan meat, lychee meat, etc. to cook Laba porridge, which is sweet and delicious. It is said that this method of cooking porridge originated from Nanjing. 2. The Laba Festival in Guangdong is one of China's traditional festivals. On this day, people worship their ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth, praying for a good harvest and good luck. There is a custom of eating Laba porridge in various places. After Buddhism became popular, the Buddha's Enlightenment Day was merged with Laba Festival. Famous temples such as Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and Hanshan Temple in Suzhou still provide porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. But in Guangdong, the atmosphere of Laba Festival is very dull. Some people in Guangdong also celebrate Laba Festival, but mainly in the Pearl River Delta area. It is a custom brought by the Hakka people from the north, but the ingredients used to make Laba porridge are different. For example, millet and red dates are mostly used in the north, while glutinous rice, lilies, lotus seeds, etc. are mostly used in the south. 3. The traditional Laba porridge in Fuzhou, Fujian has an interesting feature: a small lion made of several kinds of fruits is placed on the porridge to ward off evil spirits. In the past, people in Fuzhou usually started making Laba porridge on the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, simmered it overnight, and the porridge was ready in the early morning of the next day. Some families will first carve the fruit into various shapes, the most interesting of which is making a "fruit lion". Remove the pits from crisp dates and dry them to make the lion's body, use half a walnut kernel as the lion's head, peach kernels as the lion's feet, and almonds as the lion's tail. Then use syrup to stick the various parts together and place them on the porridge. If the bowl is large, you can also place two lions to represent the meaning of "warding off evil and bringing good luck". In large temples, you can also see small figures of the Eight Immortals, Arhats, the God of Longevity, etc. made from colored foods such as jujube paste, bean paste, and hawthorn. 4. On the Laba Festival in Hunan Province , temples make porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to Buddha. It is called Laba porridge and is popular among the people. In addition to eating Laba porridge, people in Changsha and other places also make Laba beans, which have become one of the home-cooked dishes. People in the countryside often cook Laba rice with glutinous rice, bacon, red dates, walnuts, etc. on this day. Laba beans are also best made on this day. There is also a proverb in Changsha that goes "When the La drum sounds, spring grass grows. When the La drum beats, farmers get excited", so the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is commonly known as "La Day". On this day, many people will worship their ancestors. They will first offer the cooked Laba porridge to their ancestors and then distribute it to their family members. The leftover Laba porridge is also kept and eaten for a few days as it is a good omen for “abundance every year”. 5. In Daliusi Village, Longji Town, Longsheng Autonomous County, Guangxi , the local Panyao people have the custom of making glutinous rice cakes on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The local Yao people soak and steam the glutinous rice, then pound it into a paste in a stone trough, and then knead it into shape to make glutinous rice cakes. Ciba pastries are fragrant, glutinous and delicious, and are loved by local people. |
