When you serve the table, you should only see rice, not chicken and ham. " If you like vegetarianism, you can boil Gexianmi with water, drain the water, stew it in broth, and add small pieces of tofu, "soft in the middle and white in the black", so that the cooked Gexianmi is beautiful and delicious. How to eat it: take the required amount before cooking and soak it in water for several hours. When it is completely recovered into a ball, the recovery speed will be dozens of times. The washed water can be picked up and drained for later use, and can be stored for a long time at low temperature.
