Laba porridge
[Qibao Five Flavor Porridge] Required ingredients: 30g of rice; 30g of millet; 30g of sticky sorghum rice; Dashizi 3 0g; barley 30g; mung bean 20g; red bean 20g; kidney bean 20g; peanut 30g; raisins 30g; wolfberry 20g; 6 jujubes; baking soda 1g.
Method: Prepare the ingredients, order rice according to the number of people, and have a just right meal. It doesn’t matter how many ingredients are used to cook Laba porridge, as long as it has rice, beans and dried fruits. If you like it, you can add some rock sugar or brown sugar to increase the sweetness and nutrition. It is also very sweet without adding dates, raisins and wolfberry. Laba rice is also sold in supermarkets. In addition to bagged laba rice, our supermarket also has bulk laba rice that has been on the market for a long time. It is not expensive at 10 yuan per pound.
Wash all kinds of rice and beans, and add them to electric stew pot . The electric stew pot simmers over low heat, and the cooking time is long. There is no need to soak various ingredients in advance. All kinds of dried fruits should be soaked for a few minutes in advance. A little soaking will make them easier to clean. Rinse and add to electric stew pot.
Add an appropriate amount of water, and then add some baking soda, which can promote the softness of the ingredients, improve the taste, and promote digestion.
To reserve breakfast, select multigrain porridge for the electric stew pot, and it will be completed automatically after turning on the power. The traditional Laba porridge is not eaten until noon, that is, it cannot be eaten at night, so it can be eaten for breakfast or lunch. Of course, it is best to reserve a breakfast Laba porridge, which is full of energy and brings good luck for another year.
Laba garlic
[How to quickly pickle Laba garlic]: Ingredients required: 1000g garlic; 50g sugar; 50g salt; 200g rice vinegar; 300g balsamic vinegar.
Method: The recipe can be scaled down. For garlic, remember to choose purple-skinned garlic . Generally, there are white-skinned and purple-skinned garlic on the market. Although they are both garlic, there are still differences. purple-skinned garlic medium-sized garlic cloves with even cloves and a spicier and richer taste. It contains anthocyanins , which has antioxidant effects, better antibacterial effects, and better quality.
Soak the garlic in warm water for ten minutes to make it easier to peel. This method is still different from the traditional method. In traditional methods, garlic cannot touch water. Remove both ends of the peeled garlic. This detail is very important and many people do it wrong. In this way, the operating cross-section is larger and easier to oxidize, so the discoloration speed can be accelerated. This is also different from the traditional method, which cannot be cut with a knife and tends to produce a rusty smell. In fact, there were no stainless steel knives in the early years, and this problem no longer exists.
Put the peeled garlic into a basin, add sugar and salt, wear disposable gloves to grasp it repeatedly, and marinate for 30 minutes.
Match the rice vinegar and balsamic vinegar in proportion. Take an oil-free and water-free pot, add the prepared rice vinegar, and bring to a boil over low heat. Pour directly onto the garlic pickled with sugar and salt. This is also very important. Many people wait for it to cool before adding it. No wonder your pickled Laba garlic is not green.
After it cools down, it can be put into a container. It is best to use a glass bottle or porcelain container. Other products are prone to oxidation when exposed to acid for a long time. Look at my laba garlic, it has a hint of green when it is bottled. Cover it and store it in a warm place for one day before eating.The higher the temperature, the faster it turns green. Once it turns green completely, it needs to be stored at a low temperature of 0℃-4℃. Otherwise, too high a temperature will accelerate the degradation of garlic's green pigment , make the texture soft, and lose its crisp taste. Temperature below 0℃ will also affect the quality of Laba garlic.
Laba will be held tomorrow, no matter you have money or not, don’t forget these two traditions, which means good luck for another year. Welcome to leave a message. If you like this article, please like, forward and share it. Thank you for your support!
