"The light rain is new, and a thunder starts." After the sting, temperatures began to slowly rise, the weather began to warm, and much of southern China began to enter a long rainy period. Many people may not know that spring in southern China is particularly humid and wet everywhere. The refrigerator door and mirror are so wet that you can write, and if you forget to close the window, the home is really like a "water curtain hole", which is not an exaggeration at all. In the spring, the humidity is heavy, and it is easy to get dizzy, tired, fatigue, and loss of appetite, so people in South China will start to eat something that helps to dispel dampness, such as red bean and barley porridge. 
However, many people eat a lot of dampness dissipation ingredients, and their bodies are still easily tired and the dampness is still very heavy. A large part of the reason is that the spleen deficiency leads to abnormal transportation, which is the spleen deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine, which cannot be absorbed. There is some truth in the old saying that "to get rid of dampness is to nourish the spleen first". When it comes to food to nourish the spleen, I have to mention yam, which is a master of nourishing the spleen.
Yam is a medicinal and edible ingredient that is rich in a variety of nutrients such as mucopolysaccharides, proteins, vitamins and minerals. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, yam has a sweet taste and a flat nature, and has the benefits of nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the lungs, and tonifying the kidneys and astringent essence after eating. It can not only regulate the spleen and stomach, increase appetite, but also moisturize the lungs and relieve cough. It also has a good improvement effect on symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees caused by kidney deficiency and frequent urination at night, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. Stick to eating yam for a while, sleep better, and have more energy.
The common practice of yam is to make soup, and for people who are busy with work, it is also more troublesome to make soup every day. It is recommended to steam the yam and make pastries, make more at a time, store it in the refrigerator, and eat 2 pieces a day, which is convenient and trouble-free. Yam with red beans has a good taste and more comprehensive nutrition.
Today, I will share with you the practice of red bean yam cake, the ingredients that need to be prepared are: an appropriate amount of red beans, an appropriate amount of sugar, and half a yam.
Soak the red beans for 3 hours in advance, put them in an electric pressure cooker, and steam them for half an hour. After steaming, add a small amount of white sugar while hot and stir well. If you have honey red beans bought at home, it is more convenient to use them directly.
Clean the yam, cut it into small pieces and put it in a bowl, put it in a steamer with boiling water, and steam it over high heat for about 15 minutes. If you use an iron stick yam, steam it for 10 minutes and it's about the same.
Peel the steamed yam while it is hot so that it does not change color. Steaming the yam and then peeling it can avoid the irritation of the mucus in the yam**, which can cause discomfort such as itchy hands.
Put the yam in a thick plastic bag, crush it with a rolling pin, and roll it out into a fine mashed yam.
Mix the mashed yam and red beans well. The yam itself has some sweetness, and the red beans are marinated in sugar, so there is no need for additional sugar.
Take an appropriate amount of red bean mash and put it into a flower-shaped mold to smooth and press it. If you don't have a mold, you can use a disposable paper cup, cut off the bottom of the cup, put in the red bean yam puree, flatten it and pull it out, and it is round.
After the sting, the dampness is heavy, spleen nourishment is the key, eat 2 pieces a day, sleep better, and be full of energy!
