Healthy porridge with yam, peanuts and red dates

Overview

I haven't cooked for a long time, and I suddenly wanted to drink yam porridge. I gave my porridge a long name. Forgive me for writing down the amounts of all the ingredients so vaguely. It's really a handful (innocent face). The criterion is to grab a handful without spilling it. In fact, just put more if you like to eat... The amount of water depends on the amount you make. How many bowls are made? Just use a soup bowl and put a few bowls of water. What I made was a handful of ingredients + 5 bowls of water (rice bowl), and it was just right, not thick or thin. I cooked it in a casserole for three and a half hours. The ingredients are all easy to cook. If I cook them in a rice cooker, they may not be as soft and glutinous.

Steps

  1. Prepare the ingredients: wash, peel and cut the thin yam into hob pieces (the thin yam is soft, glutinous and sweet, suitable for stewing). Wash the peanuts, red beans, barley, rice/glutinous rice, and red dates and set aside (if you use a rice cooker to cook, wash the ingredients and soak them for half an hour to make them softer)

  4. After adding water, cover and start cooking. The "Nutritional Soup" function of the casserole I use defaults to three and a half hours. When there are 50 minutes left, add yam and continue cooking. At the same time, you can sprinkle in seven or eight crystal sugars and add the appropriate amount according to your personal taste.

  5. The finished product after exposure: red dates replenish qi and nourish the skin, coix seeds dehumidify, peanuts nourish the stomach, yam nourishes the kidneys and lungs... A spoonful of it is sweet and soft, and the yam melts in the mouth. My boyfriend commented: It has a good color and fragrance!

  6. In my hometown, there must be porridge for every meal. The so-called porridge refers to five-grain porridge. Even white rice porridge is good. Drinking porridge often can moisturize your complexion and make you look good. The weather in Beijing is dry, so you need a bowl of good porridge!
