What food does the slight cold solar term eat?

The traditional cuisine of the slight cold solar terms is varied, and the north and the south are different.

Starting from South China, Guangdong will eat a special glutinous rice when it is slightly cold. This kind of glutinous rice is different from what we usually eat, not only glutinous rice, but also some fragrant rice and local bacon for cooking. The effect is delicious and you can eat it directly.

On the south of the Yangtze River, as far as Nanjing is concerned, they will eat vegetable rice. The so-called vegetable rice, as its name implies, is rice cooked with vegetables and rice. You can add other vegetables or meat to cook together according to your preference. This looks similar to the glutinous rice in Guangdong mentioned above. It is cooked with ingredients and rice, except that this vegetable rice is the rice we usually eat without glutinous rice. Of course, the cooking methods may also be different.

Now that we are in the north, Xiaohan in Tianjin will eat soybean sprouts on this day. Many people may not know what soybean sprouts are. In fact, soybean sprouts are Chinese cabbage, but after this kind of cabbage is cut, the leaves inside are tender and yellow, like buds, so people call it "soybean sprouts". Soybean sprouts are seasonal vegetables in this season. Eating them is good for your health. As for how to eat soybean sprouts, I personally think that whether it is boiled or stewed, it is very delicious!

In addition to the above foods, there are some foods eaten by both the north and the south, that is, mutton. The ancients have long known that mutton has the function of keeping out the cold, so during the slight cold, people will eat mutton at the coldest time of the year to keep warm. Up to now, people still keep this custom, not only for culture, but also for health preservation.

By the way, there will be a traditional festival during the slight cold-Laba Festival.

Laba porridge is one of the traditional foods of Laba Festival, but the taste of Laba porridge is different in north and south, some areas will eat sweet, and some areas will eat salty.

Of course, these foods are just the tip of the iceberg as we know it. China is a multi-ethnic country, so different ethnic groups eat different foods during the Spring Festival. Do you have any special food for your slight cold?
