Five-flavor yam porridge
Overview
On the basis of the four-flavor yam porridge, Poria cocos is added. Poria cocos has the function of diluting water and dampness, and its medicinal properties are mild, diluting water without damaging righteousness. It is an important medicine for diluting water and dampness. All beans are fried in advance. I was lucky enough to see four kinds of stir-fried herbs in Chinese medicine prescriptions, and these three were among them. I was very curious at that time. Stir-frying is one of the methods of preparing traditional Chinese medicine. What are the effects of these stir-fried items? After careful consideration, these three are all spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing medicines. The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. The aroma of burnt food enters the spleen. After frying, the spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing effects are probably stronger. However, it is not clear what method to use for frying. It's probably good to just stir-fry it directly in an iron pan. The porridge cooked by stir-frying the three ingredients has a faint burnt aroma, and the poria cocos absorbs water and gets mixed in between the beans, making the porridge look a bit hazy. It is suitable for people with weak constitutions and should be used with caution by those with constipation.
