Red bean glutinous rice

Today is the last month of Xiao Han's Xin Chou Year, Xin Chou Yue.

Today is a slight cold, Xi 'an is cold, empty and bleak.

During the slight cold solar term, both the north and the south are experiencing two major yin evils: cold and dampness. People with cold hands and feet may be colder at this time. People with insufficient yang must protect themselves when going out and wear hats, scarves and gloves. Those who are blue with cold for beauty are cruelly consuming their yang. If you don't wear too thick indoors, it is not conducive to yang.

When the sun is shining, soak your feet with hot water before going to bed at night, add some mugwort leaves, pepper and ginger to drive away the cold, and you can also use moxibustion to increase yang.

In terms of diet, eat more foods that can make the body warm up quickly, such as ginger jujube tea, red bean glutinous rice porridge, angelica ginger mutton soup, etc. When cooking, you can put more spices such as ginger, fennel or cinnamon. Keeping your body warm can protect the yang, protect your legs, feet and neck, and help the yang return to its original source.

At this moment, health preservation, one is to invigorate the kidney and the other is to warm the heart. Kidney qi is fixed, the body has no loopholes, and cold is not easy to invade.

Heart governs blood and brings heat to the body through blood circulation. Only on this basis can dampness be eliminated.

There is a kind of food that can dispel dampness and nourish the heart-red beans. Red beans can not only eliminate dampness, but also nourish the heart and spleen, strengthen bones and muscles, and are also rich in trace elements and vitamins.

Glutinous rice can replenish middle energizer, replenish blood and deficiency, strengthen spleen and nourish stomach, etc.

Cooking glutinous rice and red beans together can regulate qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, nourish yin and promote fluid production, and replenish kidney and essence. It is an excellent food for the slight cold season.

Today, I cooked a glutinous rice with red beans. Specific practices are as follows:

1. Soak glutinous rice and red beans in warm water for an hour or two.

2. Boil adzuki beans in a boiling water pot for ten minutes.

3. Put rapeseed oil (lard can also be used) in the pot, remove the glutinous rice and stir fry in the pot until the glutinous rice absorbs all the oil, and pour in red beans and water.

4. Bring the fire to a boil, stir fry with low fire, sprinkle some salt, the water in the pot is dry, and the glutinous rice and red beans are ripe.

5, sprinkle with fried sesame seeds, you can eat, delicious.

Delicious glutinous rice and red bean rice are out of the pot. The fastest is the son, who ate half of it in three bites. My daughter ate slowly, picked the sesame seeds on it and said that sesame seeds are fragrant, like a blooming flower.

This season, the epidemic moment, the family can sit together and have a hot meal, so happy! Cherish now!
