Chinese yam gouqi porridge is very good for nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, but Chinese yam is a little wet, so it's best to put some coix seed when cooking, so as to neutralize it, and it's best to use iron yam. My husband and I usually prepare one or two pieces of coix seed, one or two pieces of polished rice, half a catty of yam peeled and cut into small pieces of two to three centimeters (not too small to boil easily), ten pieces of medlar, blanched in boiling water, simmered for fifteen minutes, and then simmered for half an hour without stirring. Finally, when it is almost cooked, you can slowly stir in one direction for three minutes.
Tremella lotus seed porridge, I usually use Gutian Tremella, which has a good consistency and is rich in collagen. I belong to the hot constitution, so I put lily, lotus seed and coix seed. If you are cold, I suggest you put red beans and red dates, but don't care too much about the specific ingredients. When we eat them, our bodies will naturally neutralize them. Or the approximate amount of two people is one white fungus in Gutian, fifteen lilies, ten lotus seeds, one or two coix seeds, and the money is foamed together for six hours (I am lazy, in fact, lily lotus seeds don't need to be foamed for that long, mainly because I need time to cook at leisure, so I soak together). All tremella should be soaked in water, and the roots should be removed when cooking porridge. Tear the tremella into small pieces, put it in boiling water, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Perfect miscellaneous cereal porridge, glutinous rice, mung bean, lily, lotus seed, peanut, corn kernels, coix seed, medlar, red dates, yam slices. Divide these ingredients into three parts, boil them in boiling water for 15 minutes, and simmer for one hour. It is very important to add water to porridge. I usually divide the water into four parts in one ingredient, so it won't be too thick, but it tastes waxy. After the water is boiled, simmer for 15 minutes, then set fire for at least half an hour, and try not to stir in the middle, so that the porridge is complete but tastes mixed. Finally, when it is almost cooked, slowly stir in one direction for three minutes and take out the pot. If a pressure cooker is used, put the material and water together and press for 20 minutes.
As for the pig's trotters you mentioned just now, I made them with soybeans, peanuts, kelp and pig's trotters in a pressure cooker, which can enhance breast and whiten skin! You can also remove toxins from the blood for watching the computer often staying up late! I bought two trotters (forepaws) in the market. When I got home, I carefully removed the small fluff that was not cleaned (with eyebrow pliers), and then scalded it with boiling water to remove the blood foam. Prepare ginger, onion, pepper, star anise, clove, cooking wine, a small amount of salt, a proper amount of soybeans, peanuts and kelp, put them in a pressure cooker, add water to drown all the ingredients, and then press for half an hour.
Ok, I'll introduce so much first. Typing is very tiring! Hehe, I'm also a housewife. It was not long before. The main experience is that I try more, eat more miscellaneous grains, go shopping more and read more posts. But the ingredients are ever-changing, and they are all foods that can be found around. How to match it depends on your own hobbies. If conditions permit, you can also eat some high-grade ingredients, such as fish glue, China wood frog or bird's nest. The specific cooking method is slightly complicated, but it can still be done. Can be found on the forum. I suggest you buy an electric teapot if you don't want to go to so much trouble. Both porridge and soup are delicious, so don't worry about the specific temperature. You can put the ingredients and water out in the morning, press the switch, and go home for hot food at night (but it must have heat preservation function).
Come on! May you be healthier and more beautiful!
