If you want to honor the elderly at home on Laba Festival and it is not convenient to get up early in line, you might as well do it yourself. Here I want to introduce the method of Laba porridge, which is sweet and salty-

Practice 1: main ingredients: glutinous rice, longan and sugar; Ingredients: lotus seeds, tremella, red dates, lilies, yams, mung beans and red beans (other things like walnuts, pine nuts and gordon euryales can also be added, as long as everyone is happy).

Soak 50 grams of glutinous rice for 10 minute, add 6 cups of water, bring to a boil with high fire, reduce the fire for 20 minutes, add longan and sugar, cook for 10 minute, and finally add the cooked ingredients and boil.

Practice 2: Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of millet, corn, soybeans, mung beans and red beans; Ingredients: minced pork 100g, lotus seeds and chestnuts, a little salt.

First, soak all kinds of beans in cold water for 30 minutes and filter dry; Lotus seeds go to the heart and chestnuts are peeled; Boil the water, first put the beans in and cook for about 15 minutes, then add other materials, then boil the water and cook for about 45 minutes with slow fire.

According to the custom of the old inheritance, Laba porridge is cooked on the seventh night of the twelfth lunar month. Wash the rice, soak the fruit, peel and core, cook in the middle of the night, and simmer until the next morning. After it is done, it should be sent to relatives and friends first, and it must be sent out before noon, and finally the whole family will eat it together.

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month this year is Friday weekend. Readers have time and interest, so they might as well make an authentic Laba porridge for the elderly and enjoy the happiness brought by traditional customs to the whole family.

What if you cook too much and eat too much? In that case, let me congratulate you first-according to the custom, Laba porridge is not only eaten by people every year, but also more than enough, which is a good sign!

Finally, remind the old people that Laba porridge tastes good, but don't eat more. After all, the lotus seeds and peanuts inside are not easy to digest.
