Yam, barley and Gorgon porridge

Overview

It is said that this is a recipe that has been around since ancient times. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys and essence, remove dampness and promote diuresis. Yam can nourish the five internal organs, take care of the spleen, lungs and kidneys, replenish qi and nourish yin, and also has the effect of astringing color. Barley strengthens the spleen and clears the lungs, dilutes water and benefits the stomach, nourishes the body and clears away dampness and turbidity. Gorgon fruit can strengthen the spleen and kidneys, stop diarrhea and lingering effects, and has the greatest ability to astringe and relieve diarrhea. It is said that a trouble-free way is to beat the three dry ingredients into powder and cook them into a paste. But not everyone likes to drink mush. Moreover, it is more convenient to cook porridge directly with this fresh iron yam. This time, I changed the method. Instead of peeling the yam, I steamed it first, then peeled it and cooked it into porridge. It may be a little troublesome, but it won't make your hands itchy.
