Rice soup, also called rice oil, is a layer of porridge oil condensed on the surface of the pot when porridge is cooked or dry rice is cooked with polished rice. Rice soup is sweet and flat, can nourish yin and strengthen tendons, and has a good nourishing effect.

However, the rice soup mentioned here must be cooked in a big pot of rice, and it must be sticky to be effective. It is not acceptable if the rice is too small or too thin.

Guangdong's "rice porridge" is not what people call white rice porridge, but rice porridge cooked with slow fire. During the cooking process, rice slurry is continuously added to make the porridge soup sticky and the rice oil component fully overflows, so rice porridge becomes the first choice for the physically weak.

Rice soup contains a lot of inorganic salts such as nicotinic acid, vitamin B 1, B2, phosphorus and iron, and some nutrients such as carbohydrates and fats. Rice soup is sweet and has the functions of benefiting qi, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Drinking is conducive to the healthy development of children and contributes to the digestion and absorption of fat. Rice soup is ideal as an auxiliary drink for babies.
