Xu, director of the Nutrition Department of Daqing Longnan Hospital, said that in the early spring, the temperature rose and everything sprouted. Because the human body has not adapted to the changes of seasons and temperatures, all aspects of functional activities are in a state of depression and depression, so it becomes sleepy and does not think about diet. At this time, drinking more porridge can not only regulate appetite, increase appetite, supplement the water needed by the body, but also nourish the body and prevent diseases. If you add some shepherd's purse, leek, celery, red dates, etc. To porridge, it will be more conducive to the harmony of qi and blood and the growth of spring, and it is a diet regimen that adapts to seasonal characteristics.
Chef Mei heard that our ancestors learned to cook porridge as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Sun Simiao, a famous medical scientist in Tang Dynasty, put forward "porridge suitable for spring" in Qian Jin Fang. It can be seen that drinking more porridge in spring is in line with the health concept of China people. Chinese medicine believes that the liver function is high in spring, the liver belongs to wood, and the spleen and stomach belong to soil. According to the theory that the five elements coexist, excessive liver fire will affect the digestion and absorption function of the spleen. Five-grain porridge is boiled with five grains and a lot of water, which is beneficial to the absorption and digestion of the spleen and stomach and has the effect of "helping the weak and strengthening the strong".
Having said so much about the benefits of drinking porridge, what is the best porridge to drink in spring? Next, we invited Tao, the chef of Hexiang Yipin Boutique Porridge Shop in Dongfeng New Village, to introduce two kinds of delicious porridge in season: egg-shaped beef porridge and barley jujube yam porridge.
Egg-flower beef porridge
Chef Tao said that spring is suitable for exercise. At this time, the human body needs a lot of calories and nutrition. Adding eggs and beef to porridge can achieve the purpose of scientific nutrition and reasonable diet. This kind of porridge has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones.
step
1. Prepare 50g of beef, two eggs and a handful of vegetables. Slice beef, wash with clear water, drain water, add salt, chicken powder, egg white, starch, pepper, sesame oil and cooking oil, and marinate for 10 minute.
2. Cook rice porridge in a casserole, lest the porridge overflow, and add a few drops of cooking oil to the porridge pot. 3. Add water to another pot. After the water boils, add the marinated beef, blanch in boiling water for one minute, remove and drain.

5. Put the shaped egg drop, beef and vegetables into the cooked rice porridge, and add a little salt, chicken essence and cooking oil.
Barley jujube yam porridge
Chef Tao says this porridge has the effect of beauty beauty. Jujube is flat in nature, sweet in taste and warm in nature. It has a good nourishing effect and can nourish blood and soothe the nerves. It is especially suitable for people with chronic diseases and spleen and stomach weakness. Amylase in yam is called "digestin", which can decompose protein and carbohydrates and has nourishing effect. Middle-aged and elderly people eat yam porridge in spring, which is very helpful to restore their vitality. In addition, cooking porridge depends not only on temperature, but also on water quality. It is best to choose high-quality pure water.
step
1. Prepare a section of yam, a handful of barley and a handful of jujube. Peel and cut the yam, wash it, and cook the barley in boiling water for 20 minutes until the jujube is soft.
2. After the rice porridge is cooked, put some rock sugar and brown sugar in the pot.
3. Pour the yam, barley and jujube into the rice porridge pot and heat for 5 minutes.
This sweet, delicious and nutritious barley jujube yam porridge is especially suitable for the elderly and women.
skill
Egg-flower beef porridge:
Don't scatter the eggs too much. After the egg mixture is poured into the pot, pause for a moment and then stir. After adding starch and egg white, beef will become tender and chewy, and it will change color with water for a short time.
Coix seed jujube yam porridge:
The barley is cooked, but don't cook it. Yam should not be diced prematurely, and it is easy to oxidize and turn black. The red color in porridge is colored with brown sugar, and brown sugar is added according to personal taste.
Gu Xue Zan Zhou
As the saying goes, "Life is 70 years old", and Lu You lived 85 years old. In ancient times when medical technology and living standards were limited, he was one of the few people who lived long. According to legend, he was inspired by stomach trouble in middle age and insisted on eating porridge. A year later, the body miraculously improved, so there was a well-known saying that "everyone in the world is an elderly person, and I don't know how many years it is now." I have a poem "I will only give porridge to immortals".
Li Shizhen of Ming Dynasty in Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that porridge is "extremely soft and greasy, which is compatible with the stomach and a recipe for diet". There are more than 50 kinds of porridge in his book.
Cao Xueqin Cao Xueqin regards porridge as a delicacy. In A Dream of Red Mansions, there are often episodes of drinking porridge. Baoyu drinks Bigeng porridge to sober up after drinking, and Daiyu can't live without porridge every day. She either cooks porridge with fine bird's nest to nourish yin and moisten lungs, or cooks porridge with glutinous rice to relieve cough and phlegm. Drinking porridge to cure diseases, "food and medicine are of the same origin", has reached the best interpretation in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Tell the truth.
Egg-shaped beef porridge is salty, and both beef and eggs have aphrodisiac effects. This kind of porridge is suitable for men and students, especially after exercise, which can replenish energy and carbohydrates in time.
Coix seed and jujube yam porridge belongs to sweet mouth. Contains rock sugar and brown sugar, and has the function of nourishing yin. Long-term use, beauty beauty, moisten the heart and lungs.
Laomei Online:
Shadow chasing the wind: my family has a lot of mutton, including sheep neck and lamb chops. I don't know how to eat them. Please help us introduce it.
Tang Priest: Let me give you a suggestion. Mutton is best roasted. It tastes like a restaurant. Mutton stinks and tastes delicious. If it is baked, the smell will be reduced. In addition, it is more suitable for the public taste when baking. When mutton is skewered and roasted, it tastes no worse than a barbecue shop.
Lao Tzu Mei: What Tang Priest said makes sense. However, I suggest you stew mutton. Spring is coming, the temperature is dry, and eating barbecue again is easy to cause indigestion, and stewing is in line with the law of health preservation. In addition, mutton should be eaten with radish, green radish and carrot, and even soup with meat will help digestion.
Bugs bunny: I often suffer from insomnia recently, and I often dream at night. What about insomnia?
Lao Tzu Mei: There are many reasons for insomnia, including mental and emotional reasons and functional diseases. Long-term insomnia can also induce many diseases. I suggest you go to the hospital for a good check-up and receive regular treatment. But in dietotherapy, I suggest you eat more lotus lily porridge, lotus seed, tremella and jujube porridge, longan and milk, all of which will help you sleep.
