1, Laba porridge
Because the time of Laba Festival is between slight cold and severe cold, many places have the custom of eating Laba porridge on this day of slight cold. Laba porridge is made of eight kinds of ingredients, rich in nutrition, high in calories and delicious, so eating Laba porridge on a slight cold day can warm the whole body. In Henan, Laba porridge, also known as "everyone's meal", is a holiday food custom to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei.
2. Mutton
Slight cold is the coldest time of the year. In these cold days, the quickest and most effective way to prevent wind and cold is not to add a cotton-padded coat, but to drink a bowl of steaming mutton soup. Mutton is a high-calorie food. If you add some angelica, yam and carrot to cook it together, and add green onions and ginger to taste it, it is recommended to eat it once a week, which will not get angry, but also warm the winter.
3. Yellow sprouts
Eating yellow sprouts is a unique custom in Tianjin in the old days. Yellow sprouts are made from Chinese cabbage buds. After harvesting the cabbage, remove the stems and leaves, only keep the heart of the cabbage, then cover it with manure, and take it out for half a month to eat, which is very fresh and crisp.
4. Chicken soup
The slight cold solar term is in the March 9 season, and there is a folk saying that "a chicken every September will make you healthy in the coming year". Chinese medicine believes that chicken is warm, contains a lot of vitamins and high-quality protein, has low fat content, and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body. The nutritional value of chicken is higher than that of red meat. Eating chicken can improve human immunity.
