The eleventh month of the lunar calendar is approaching, and life is gradually entering a new mode. If you want to know more exciting content about the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018, please visit Mr. Shui Mo’s website!What is suitable to eat during the Minor Cold solar term?1. Laba porridge: Eating porridge is a health-preserving meal in Chinese food culture. Laba porridge can indeed help dispel the cold and replenish qi. Laba Festival is around the Lesser Cold solar term. Eating a meal of such rich hot porridge at this time can not only stimulate appetite, but also increase body heat and play a role in warming the stomach and eliminating cold.2. Lamb is the most cost-effective warm food. If you add some angelica, yam, and carrots to lamb and season it with green onions and ginger, it is recommended to eat it once a week. It will not only prevent you from getting a sore throat, but also keep you warm throughout the winter. 3. Yellow sprouts According to "Tianjin Miscellaneous Notes", there was a custom of eating yellow sprouts during the Minor Cold in Tianjin in the old days. Yellow cabbage sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made from cabbage sprouts. After the winter solstice, cut off the stems and leaves of the cabbage, leaving only the heart, about two inches off the ground, cover it with manure and do not allow air to pass through. Eat it after half a month. It will be crispy and tender, making up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. Modern people's living standards have improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available in all seasons. They no longer worry about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as they did in the past. 4. Vegetable Rice When the Lesser Cold comes, people in Nanjing usually cook vegetable rice. The contents of the vegetable rice are different. Some people use dwarf yellow vegetables, bacon slices, sausage slices or diced pressed duck, and then add some chopped ginger and cook it with glutinous rice. It is very fragrant and delicious. Among them, short-legged yellow rice, sausages and pressed duck are all famous specialties of Nanjing. They can be said to be the real "Nanjing vegetable rice" and can even be compared with Laba porridge. 5. Glutinous rice is a Guangzhou tradition. People eat glutinous rice in the morning of Xiaohan. To avoid it being too sticky, the rice is usually 60% glutinous rice and 40% fragrant rice. Chop the bacon and Chinese sausage, fry them, fry the peanuts, add some chopped scallions, and mix it with the rice. Glutinous rice symbolizes warmth, bringing warmth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Because glutinous rice has a higher sugar content than rice, eating it will make your whole body feel warm, which helps to 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. 6. Chicken Soup: Old Nanjing people have the habit of eating a chicken on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and an egg every day for nourishment, so chicken soup and eggs are indispensable on the citizens’ table on the day of Minor Cold. It is said that when chicken bones and chicken are slowly simmered over low heat, most of the nutrients will dissolve into the soup, making it very easy for the human body to absorb. It is an excellent tonic for replenishing qi and blood in winter and is also high in calcium. |
