Entering the late autumn, although the autumn is crisp, it is dry and windy. At this time, the diet should be based on "preventing dryness and nourishing yin". In our traditional diet, porridge has both edible and medicinal functions. More porridge in autumn can not only prevent autumn dryness, but also nourish yin and replenish vitality. Porridge is tolerable. Whether it is sweet porridge made of fragrant red beans and red dates or salty porridge made of coriander meat, it is not greasy and very comfortable.

When cooking porridge in autumn, it is natural to choose nourishing ingredients. Yam is sweet, flat, has the function of moistening lung and strengthening spleen, and is a good product for nourishing the body. Cooking porridge with sweet and soft pumpkin and fiber-rich oats is not only easy to digest, but also can boost vitality and replenish the body. It is very suitable for the elderly and children to drink, and I will share it with you.

Ingredients: pumpkin 1, 2 yams, oatmeal.

1. Wash the soil on the surface of yam, peel it and cut it into hob blocks. Dig out the pulp of the pumpkin with a spoon, peel it off with a knife and cut it into small pieces.

2. Add about 2 bowls of water to the boiling pot, add the chopped pumpkin pieces, turn to low heat after the fire is boiled, and cook for about 5 minutes. At this time, the pumpkin pieces have almost boiled and are fibrous.

3. Add the sliced yam and continue to cook for about 5 minutes. The yam used here is thinner, and the sliced yam is smaller. If the yam is thicker, the cut yam pieces are larger, and the cooking time should be appropriately extended.

4. According to your own preferences, add an appropriate amount of oatmeal to cook for about 1 minute, and then turn off the fire. A pot of pumpkin yam oatmeal with golden color and attractive appetite is ready.

Tip: Because more pumpkins are added to oatmeal, porridge is already a little sweet, and generally there is no need to add sugar, rock sugar, etc. Before cooking.

For office workers and people with children at home, the time after getting up in the morning is very tight, and breakfast generally does not take up too much time. This kind of Yuan Qi porridge is easy to make, and family members can have a delicious breakfast in 10 minutes. More importantly, it is nutritious and mild, and can be drunk by the elderly and children. My children don't like porridge at ordinary times, but as long as they make this autumn porridge, they can drink a full bowl.

In autumn, we can learn from our ancestors' methods. As the saying goes, "salt water in the morning and honey soup at night" means adding some ingredients to boiling water, adding a little salt during the day, which is conducive to reducing fire and clearing heat, and soaking a cup of honey water at night. The health care experience summarized by the ancients for thousands of years is worth a try.
