What traditional food is good to eat in the slight cold season?

Traditional foods that people often eat during the slight cold season include glutinous rice, mutton soup, laba porridge, vegetable rice, soybean sprouts and so on. Glutinous rice: In Guangzhou, Han Xiao wants to eat glutinous rice in the morning. Glutinous rice is not only as simple as boiled glutinous rice, but also served with fried bacon, coriander, chopped green onion and other materials, which tastes particularly fragrant.

Generally speaking, slight cold is close to Laba Festival, so many places have the custom of eating Laba porridge on this day. Laba porridge has many ingredients, mainly glutinous rice, rice, black rice, red beans, peanuts, millet, chestnuts, raisins, longan, lotus seeds, brown sugar, broken nuts and so on. The ingredients used in the north and south are not the same. Since entering the winter, due to the low temperature, many people will eat some mutton to warm and replenish qi and blood, thus playing a role in warming and nourishing. Xiaohan folk have the custom of drinking mutton soup. During the slight cold, Nanjing people usually eat vegetable rice, but the content is not the same. In ancient times, the poor cooked with oil, salt and vegetables, while the people with good conditions cooked with sausage, bacon, salted duck, glutinous rice and diced ginger. On this cold day, eating soybean sprouts is the tradition of "Old Tianjinwei". The so-called soybean sprouts are not vegetable varieties, but an old name for Chinese cabbage. Because Chinese cabbage is yellow, there are similar names in some areas, such as soybean sprouts and cabbage. The slight cold solar term is in March and September, and there is a folk saying that "a chicken in September every year will keep you healthy in the coming year". Chinese medicine believes that chicken is warm, contains a lot of high-quality protein, and has low fat content, which is easily digested and absorbed by human body.
