"Imperata root porridge" is a unique breakfast in our county. It is the best breakfast for the public, along with "fish slice and pig blood porridge". It is made by boiling fresh imperata root, polygonatum, lentils, red beans, poria cocos, etc. with rice. It has the effects of cooling, removing dampness, and reducing internal heat. ——Cantonese people are accustomed to using medicinal materials to make soup or dishes, saying that it can achieve the actual effects of "prevention" and "medical treatment" and satisfy the appetite, achieving multiple goals at one stroke. There is a proverb: "For backache and bone pain, the best thing is to stew pork kidney with Eucommia ulmoides, and don't eat rice." This is evident. When eating, add a little salt, it is very fragrant and delicious. It can be eaten with fried cypress. I loved this when I was a child. I would enjoy a bowl of it for a copper coin and then go to school.
