In addition, I am introducing a nourishing porridge, milk sugar rice porridge.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing, Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law, died of illness. Jia Zhen was determined to hold a grand and decent funeral for his daughter-in-law, and his wife You Shi was ill in bed at this time, unable to attend to housework, so Jia Zhen thought of asking the capable Wang Xifeng to come and help. Wang Xifeng, who has a strong nature and always likes to show off her talents, tried her best to discipline the servant girls up and down the Ningguo mansion after taking office. Although Wang Xifeng's management ability is outstanding, what she faced this time was not ordinary housework, but a funeral with luxurious scale and complicated etiquette. A little carelessness may make mistakes and make people laugh. The powerful Wang Xifeng worked day and night and dared not neglect.
In the fourteenth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin gave a detailed description of the affairs of Ning Guofu, Wang Xifeng's assistant, but he did not forget to explain Wang Xifeng's diet. What was this bowl of food that Wang Xifeng ate before she went to Ningguo Mansion? What is that? The book describes it like this: "I cleaned it thoroughly, changed my clothes and washed my hands, and ate two mouthfuls of creamy rice porridge."
The raw materials needed to make this creamy glutinous rice porridge are: glutinous rice 100g, 250ml of milk, and appropriate amount of brown sugar or white sugar. To make porridge, you must eat rice first. We know that there are many kinds of rice, including glutinous rice, millet and barley. It is often used to cook porridge. So why does this porridge have to use japonica rice? Is there anything special about japonica rice compared with other rice?
It turns out that the superiority of japonica rice lies in its "flat compensation" effect, so what is flat compensation? According to Chinese medicine, food is divided into five types: cold, flat, warm and hot. People with different constitutions are suitable for eating foods with different natures, such as glutinous rice and millet. They are warm, and those with warmer constitutions are not suitable for eating more. People with colder constitutions, such as coix seed, cannot eat more, but japonica rice is flat, neither hot nor cold, and is suitable for a wider range of people. Another outstanding feature of japonica rice is that it likes to add various things, such as some food and medicine, to porridge with intestines and stomach. After these things are added, how can the porridge bottom not affect the efficacy of these foods or drugs? It is very suitable to find a flat porridge bottom, which can effectively reconcile these properties and reduce the side effects of other drugs and foods that stimulate the stomach.
The preparation method is as follows: first, pour a proper amount of water into the casserole and boil the water with strong fire. While waiting for the water to boil, wash the japonica rice with clear water. After a few minutes, wait for the water to boil, then put the washed japonica rice into the pot and continue to cook with high fire. After the porridge is boiled, turn to low heat and cook slowly for about 1 hour. I don't know if you have noticed that when the porridge is boiled to a certain extent, such a viscous liquid will appear in the spoon, which is the essence of the whole pot of porridge-"porridge oil"!
If porridge rice is the first tonic in the world, then porridge oil is the best tonic, because porridge oil itself has a stronger nourishing effect than porridge and is rich in vitamins and other nutrients, so the ancients also thought that porridge oil has a strong nourishing effect on the elderly, children or the weak. For example, in Zi Gui Fang Dan, a dietotherapy prescription is mentioned, which uses porridge oil and a little salt to make men drink on an empty stomach. After a period of time, he thought it was rich in essence and could effectively treat symptoms such as oligospermia and infertility.
When the porridge becomes sticky and can be cooked, add milk. Please note that milk must not be added too early, otherwise it will destroy the nutrients. Add milk, stir well and cook for a few minutes. In this way, the nutritious creamy sugar japonica rice porridge is ready, and white sugar or brown sugar can be sprinkled according to personal needs. Can this porridge solve the problem of stomach discomfort after drinking milk?
There are 70% or 80% Asians who lack bacteria and enzymes to digest lactose, so many people will feel abdominal pain, discomfort and even diarrhea because of lactose intolerance after drinking milk. We found that if milk and japonica rice are cooked into porridge, the role of japonica rice in regulating the stomach can well alleviate lactose intolerance.
Ok, let's learn the specific method of this porridge again:
