Ingredients
Steps
-
Barley is difficult to cook. First put enough water in the casserole, add barley and white fungus that have been soaked the night before. Red beans and mung beans have been soaked the night before and add them as well
-
After half an hour, the barley becomes thicker, then add the japonica rice
-
After about twenty minutes, add fresh lotus seeds or soaked dried lotus seeds
-
Then cover the pot and cook slowly over low heat ~ I stayed there for about an hour, be careful of overflowing and sticking to the pot, then add the washed tangerine peel
-
Add the washed red dates and continue to cook with the lid on for about half an hour
-
Finally, add the hawthorn slices. You don’t need to cover the lid to cook at this time. Just stir with the lid open. The whole porridge will be thick. You can add some rock sugar before drinking!
