Описание: Some call this porridge, some call this a dessert. Want to know how to make this?
From the name it’s pretty obvious that it has 8 ingredients that goes into it.
1. Red dates
2. Lotus seeds
3. Black glutinous rice
4. White glutinous rice
5. Dried longan
5. Barley
7. Red beans
8. Mung beans

I don’t follow any recipe exactly from the book but just use amount each which I prefer more or less. Some recipe says to soak the red beans n lotus seeds overnight. I don’t.
The ingredients may seem little that I use, but trust me, they do expand to quite an amount when it’s done.
The first time I made, I followed the exact recipe and it came to such an amount, I can’t had to give most of it away.
This time I just use slightly lesser than 1/4 cup each ingredient. I also use a thermal pot for this. Saves a lot of time.
I put everything into the inner pot and add some water to it and when it comes to a boil, transfer the inner pot into the thermal cooker. That’s all that’s needed.
After 3-4 hours, everything would have thicken up and just add some rock sugar to it for sweetness. This is good eaten warm or cold. Enjoy!!
