Often people ask: "Why Job's tears and red bean soup can't be cooked in a sticky form?" When simmering barley and red bean soup, never add rice into it! Why? Because rice grows in the water, contains moisture, moisture viscous, so, rice a boiled thick. Red beans and Job's tears are wet, itself does not contain moisture, so how they simmer are not thick, soup is very clear. Chinese medicine is precisely the use of this clear nature, to get rid of the body's moisture. Once you add in rice, you are adding in moisture, so the whole porridge is thickened. Although the flavor is better, but for health is not a good thing, because of that a handful of rice, all the red beans, barley are wasted, efficacy of all.

I suggest that there are two ways: one is to add in the pot to get enough water, boil off the fire, let barley and red beans in the pot bored for half an hour, and then add the fire, boil and then bored for another half an hour, red bean soup is cooked. The second method is even simpler, that is, our home is not commonly used thermos flask clean, barley and red beans on the inside, and then poured into the boiling water, stuffed tightly bottle smothered, every night so that get good, get up in the morning is the porridge, just when the breakfast drink.
