Laba porridge cannot be boiled to perfection, and the ingredients must be carefully matched, because the meaning is extraordinary
After Laba Festival, it is the New Year. Everyone has heard this sentence. I also know a lot about the Laba Festival and know that I eat Laba porridge on this traditional day.
But you may not know that cooking Laba porridge is also particular. In addition to being delicious when paired together, the meaning must be indispensable.
Ingredients that symbolize good luck, pray for success and other meanings are indispensable, because this is something inherited from the old tradition. In addition, the Laba porridge cooked by many netizens is always half-cooked, and beans are beans and rice is rice. There are tricks to handling and cooking ingredients. Today I will use a short article to tell you how to cook Laba porridge.
The twelfth lunar month Laba porridge
Ingredients: 8 red dates, 12 longans, 1 handful of millet, barley 1 small handfuls, chopped corn 1 small handfuls, half a cup of glutinous rice, 1 small handful of peanut kernels, 1 small handful of three-color brown rice, small handfuls of mung beans 1, 1 small handful of red beans, 1 small handful of large red beans, 1 small handful of lotus seeds, 1 large piece of old rock sugar
Cooking steps:
1. The ratio of Laba porridge must be diversified, so that the taste, nutrition and taste will be good. In addition, the "meaning" is naturally indispensable, such as red dates and longan symbolizing prosperity and wealth, lotus seeds and peanuts symbolizing descendants, etc. Of course, for people in the new era, delicious food and health are the most important things.
Brown rice can adjust the taste and enhance nutrition, and barley has the effect of removing dampness . As for glutinous rice, it plays an important role in the entire porridge, because beans and whole grains have a very rough texture. The glutinous rice has a certain stickiness after being cooked, which makes the whole porridge smooth and delicious, so more glutinous rice is needed.
2. Mung beans can reduce internal heat and enhance physical fitness. When paired with small red beans and large red beans, it not only tastes more mellow but also has a layered texture. As for lotus seeds, they must be processed before cooking. Most lotus seeds purchased have a small part of the " lotus core " that has not been removed.
Although lotus core has the effect of reducing internal heat and improving eyesight, its bitterness will affect the taste. Therefore, you must break open the lotus seeds and check whether there are lotus cores.
3. The night before cooking or a few hours in advance, soak the small red beans, large red beans, mung beans and lotus seeds in cold water. This type of beans must be soaked in advance to shorten the cooking time, and the ratio can be adjusted according to personal preference.
4. Put the beans into the pot and add more water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook for half an hour, then pour in rice, peanuts, red dates, longan and rock sugar and cook in the millet pot.
Be careful when cooking in a pot until it is almost cooked. Because glutinous rice is relatively sticky, it can easily burn. So at the last moment, a lot of stirring is required.
5. Laba porridge is used for festivals, sacrifices, and prayers, so it cannot be boiled to perfection. It must be "thick" to symbolize fullness, fullness, perfection, sweetness, harvest, etc.
Tips for landlords:
1. Beans are difficult to cook. Remember to soak them in advance and cook them for a period of time.
2. A larger proportion of glutinous rice will make them taste better
3. When it is almost cooked, pay attention to the problem of sticking to the pan and burning.
