Laba porridge is usually boiled on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, hence the name. Its ingredients are rich, which may include rice, millet, red beans, dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, almonds and other ingredients, meaning bumper harvest and good luck. There is no specific time to make eight-treasure porridge. The ingredients usually include eight different ingredients such as rice, beans and dried fruits, but the specific ingredients can be different according to different regions and families. Therefore, Laba porridge and Babao porridge are similar in composition, but they are not the same kind of porridge.
