attachment: it's not advisable to increase the rice in the barley red bean porridge

Because rice grows in water, it contains moisture and is wet and sticky, so it becomes thick as soon as it is boiled. Both adzuki beans and coix seed are dehumidified and do not contain moisture, so they are not thick and the soup is very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine just uses its clear nature to get rid of the dampness of the human body. Once rice is added, it is equivalent to adding moisture, so the whole porridge is thick. Although the taste is better, it is not a good thing for health preservation. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and coix seed are in vain, and the effect is useless.
