【Preserved egg and lean meat porridge】

Overview

In the great cold, pigs are killed to celebrate the New Year. The Great Cold is the last solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and is also the coldest period of the year. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that during the cold season, the temperature is relatively low and the body's metabolism will slow down, but the body's internal organs still need to absorb sufficient nutrients to resist the wind and cold. During Christmas, New Year's Day, and the upcoming Spring Festival, it is inevitable that you will have overeating during the festival, or eat a lot of food that you rarely come into contact with at gatherings. Porridge can be a good way to nourish the stomach. It can also enhance appetite and replenish physical strength. People are prone to fatigue, lack of energy, and loss of appetite after the holidays. Porridge paired with brightly colored and appetizing side dishes, such as prunes and sweet ginger, is very effective in increasing appetite. Drinking porridge is also very good for preventing dry throat. During the holidays, singing karaoke with friends and eating a lot of spicy food can easily cause throat discomfort. Warm porridge can moisturize the throat and effectively relieve the discomfort.
