Millet and wolfberry porridge

Last time, I posted a ginseng and red dates soup suitable for staying up late. Now I will post a "substitute ginseng soup" millet and wolfberry porridge. Millet, also known as corn, is light yellow or dark yellow in color, hard in texture, and has a sweet aroma. Many women in northern my country have the tradition of using millet and brown sugar to nourish their bodies after giving birth. Millet porridge is rich in nutrition. Although it is not ginseng soup, it can also replace ginseng soup. It can also be paired with jujube, red beans, sweet potatoes, lotus seeds, lilies, etc. to make nutritional supplements with different flavors. Millet should be eaten mixed with soybeans or meat foods. This is because millet lacks lysine in amino acids, while soybeans are rich in lysine in amino acids, which can make up for the deficiency of millet; millet should not be eaten with almonds. People with qi stagnation should not use it; people with weak and cold constitutions and clear urine should eat less. (Source: Baidu) I have a qi stagnation constitution, so I dare not eat millet. This porridge is for idiots to drink. I stayed up late again.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Wolfberry can nourish the kidney and produce essence, nourish the liver, improve eyesight, strengthen bones, relieve fatigue, improve complexion, whiten skin, improve eyesight and calm the mind, and prolong life."
