Cook Laba porridge at home

Today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Laba Festival. Our custom here is to drink porridge on Laba Festival and pickle Laba garlic. We used to drink porridge with our parents. I moved this year, and I am far from my parents' home, so I have to cook porridge myself.

I selected several materials in the market one week in advance, including white glutinous rice, black fragrant rice, coix seed, red bean, flower bean, long red bean, water chestnut seed, peanut seed, fresh chestnuts, red dates, medlar, rice and more than a dozen materials.

After dinner last night, I processed all the materials (the skin of fresh chestnuts is hard to peel, but it tastes good) and soaked them in warm water all night. I got up at five o'clock this morning, put all the materials into the electric pressure cooker, plugged in the power supply, and left it alone. I went back to bed and slept. At seven o'clock, everyone had a big bowl of Laba porridge, which was really nourishing! !
