【Shanxi】Red Date Rice Soup

Overview

Rice soup is millet porridge. Why don’t you serve this red dates and millet porridge on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Isn’t it just too fishy and meaty? Hehe, there is a saying in our hometown that in the past, because we were poor, we should avoid eating this rare food during the Chinese New Year, hoping for a good harvest next year. But now that people's living standards have improved, they are used to drinking porridge every day, so if you drink millet porridge on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no taboo in this first month. Especially throughout the year, every household cannot do without millet porridge in the evening every day. Even if relatives come to visit, they will not dislike having porridge during this first month. Haha, since it is the first lunar month, some red dates are usually put in when cooking porridge, just like red dates are wrapped in steamed buns or printed with red dots on the first lunar month day, which is auspicious. Haha, local custom. In fact, red dates and millet porridge nourishes the stomach, replenishes qi and blood, and is also suitable for children with indigestion and spleen deficiency accompanied by anorexia. It can also recuperate the weak and cold constitution of postpartum women and help them regain their physical strength.
