Eight Treasure Porridge 營養八寶粥


I felt pretty weak recently. So as a chinese girl, the first thought was - I need eight treasure porridge to boost up my energy!! Broom....!!

The Ingredients I Used:
Bario Rice 2 tbsps
Bario Red Glutinous Rice 2 tbsps
Black Bean 2 tbsps
Mung Bean 1 tbsp
Red Bean 1 tbsp
Barley 1 tbsp
Lotus Seed 2 tbsp
Dried Longan 1 tbsp
Peanut 2 tbsp
Oat 3 tbsp

Note: Ingredients used in the eight-treasure porridge are virtually unlimited. The 'Eight' simply means many. So, there can be more than eight ingredients in the porridge. You get the idea, right? Beans, as many kinds as possible.

Method:
1. Soak all the ingredients except oat and dried longan overnight.
2. Rinse all the ingredients except oat and dried longan (reserve these to add later) and place them in the rice cooker add water (roughly 3-4 times of dry ingredients). Cook for 40 minutes, stirring accasionally and add water as needed. Add washed oat and longan 15 minutes before the porridge is ready.
3. You should have loose and soupy porridge. Serve warm, you can add sugar or honey to taste but I like mine as it is
