Polygonatum can be taken directly by decocting in water, and of course it can also be used to cook porridge. Generally, it is matched with japonica rice porridge, which has a very good effect of tonifying the middle and replenishing qi.

Here is also recommended a simple collocation-Polygonatum stew.

Actually, it's similar to Astragalus and Lycium barbarum. Polygonatum sibiricum soaked in water is generally good, but the nutrient intake of the whole soaked water is relatively limited. Therefore, in ancient Taoism, Polygonatum sibiricum was generally treated by nine steaming and nine drying, which brought the homology of medicine and food to the extreme.

The technology of nine steaming and nine drying is also very elegant. For example, you must use a steamer and firewood when steaming, because whether it is an electric steamer or gas, the time will be less, but it will make Polygonatum lose a lot of medicinal value.

Firewood grows on the land and is normalized. The energy generated by combustion is relatively mild, which is closer to the frequency of human body absorbing heat than that generated by other modern heating methods, so the nourishing effect of things steamed with it is better. This is the essence of ancient cooking.
