How to cook the eight-treasure porridge quickly and sticky and delicious is to soak the ingredients in advance, cook in boiling water, not too much water, turn to low heat and simmer slowly after the fire is boiled, keep stirring, and finally add sugar.

First, the ingredients should be soaked in advance

Rice ingredients such as black glutinous rice, coix seed and black rice should be soaked in cold water for at least half an hour. Soak black beans, red beans, mung beans, lotus seeds, peanuts, etc. for one hour alone, which will make it easier to cook and boil.

Second, it is necessary to boil water in the pot.

Boil the water and put the ingredients directly in. The high temperature will cause tiny cracks on the surface of these beans, which will make the starch easier to dissolve in water and make it more viscous when cooked. If cooked in cold water, the ingredients are heated too slowly and need to be cooked for a long time.

Third, don't have too much water

The ratio of water to ingredients is 1: 15. Don't put too much water, or the cooked porridge will not be very sticky.

Fourth, after the fire is boiled, turn to a small fire and simmer slowly.

This can ensure that the starch in the ingredients can be dissolved in water as much as possible to cook more fragrant porridge.

Five, keep stirring.

When the porridge begins to roll in the later stage, it should be stirred continuously until the ingredients inside boil and the porridge becomes sticky.

Sixth, add sugar at last

Add sugar until the porridge is cooked and ready to go out. After the sugar is stirred until it melts, turn off the heat and cover it for ten minutes. This way, the porridge can be thicker and more fragrant.
