According to Chinese medicine, millet and rice are sweet and neutral in nature, and both have the functions of nourishing the middle qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach. When the two are used to make porridge, a large part of the nutrients enter the soup, especially the porridge oil, which is the essence of rice soup. Its nourishing power is no less than that of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and cooked rehmannia.

After the porridge is cooked, a layer of fine, sticky, ointment-like substance floats on the surface, which is called "rice oil" in traditional Chinese medicine and commonly known as porridge oil. The porridge oil usually referred to is obtained from millet or rice porridge.
