Laba Festival heralds the arrival of the Chinese New Year

The Laba Festival, celebrated on the 8th day of the last lunar month, marks the approach of Chinese New Year with the tradition of enjoying a special porridge. A warm bowl of Laba porridge on a chilly morning is the perfect way to honor the occasion.

This festive dish is traditionally made with eight key ingredients， such as glutinous rice, red beans, and peanuts, and requires about eight hours to prepare.
