northerners prefer to use glutinous rice, red beans, dates, lotus sees, dried longan pulp, walnuts, pine nuts and other dried fruits in their porridge; southerners like a salty porridge prepared with rice, soybeans, peanuts, broad beans, taro, water chestnuts, walnuts, vegetables and diced meat. some people like to add cinnamon and other condiments to inject flavor. controlling the heat is of great importance in the outcome. at the start, the flame must be high, but the fire is then turned down to let the porridge simmer until it begins to emit avery delicious smell. the process is time-consuming but not complicated.

laba porridge is not only easy to prepare, but also a nutritious winter food because it contains amino acids, protein and other vitamins people need. cooked nuts and dried fruit are good for smoothing nerves, nourishing one’s heart and vitality, and strengthening the spleen. perhaps that is why it is also called babao (eight treasure) porridge.
