Family version of eight-treasure porridge

Prepare ingredients: half a bowl of red beans, a bowl of red dates, alkaline noodles, half a bowl of raisins, a small bowl of walnuts, glutinous rice, and peanuts.

Operation steps:

1. Add an appropriate amount of water to the wok and bring to a boil over high heat. After the water boils, we put a small bowl of prepared walnut kernels in the boiling water. Blanch the walnuts in water for two minutes. This step is mainly to remove the bitter taste of the walnut kernels. This is why the eight-treasure porridge you cook has a bitter taste.

2. After boiling for about two minutes, drain out the water and set aside. Wash the prepared red dates, red kidney beans and raisins in clean water. Remember to wash the raisins with flour. There are too many wrinkles on the surface of the raisins. At this time, you can use the adsorption of flour to clean the dust on the surface of the raisins.

3. After cleaning a small bowl of glutinous rice, we put it in a large plate, and then add an appropriate amount of water to it. Place it in a steamer basket and place the washed red dates on top as well. Cover the pot and steam over high heat for half an hour.

4. Take another clean steamer and add an appropriate amount of water into it. Don’t add too much water, we will need to add it two or three times later. Then pour the prepared cowpeas and red beans into the cold water pot. Add a small spoonful of alkaline noodles into it and mix well.

5. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. After the water boils, add a bowl of cold water to it. At the same time, put the processed peanut kernels and walnut kernels inside and stir again. Continue to cover and start simmering over medium-low heat. After the water boils, add cold water again to control the temperature inside the soup. Prevent the pot from drying out.

6. When cooking cowpeas, be sure not to boil them over high heat. If it is kept boiling over high heat, the cowpeas will easily get cooked. This will make it easier for the bottom of the pot to get sticky. So we need to keep the cowpeas in a half-open state.

7. After adding cold water about 3 times, the red dates and glutinous rice have been steamed. Then put the red dates and glutinous rice in the cowpea pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Then put the prepared raisins and melon seeds inside. Then add enough sugar according to your taste.

8. Cover the lid and simmer over low heat for five minutes. A delicious and brightly colored rice pudding is ready.
