Nine porridges. Ingredients required: 500 grams of glutinous rice; 10 red dates; 50 grams of peanuts; 50 grams of lotus seeds; 10 water chestnuts; 20 longans; brown sugar to taste;
Production process: Soak the glutinous rice for 30 minutes to make it fully absorb water and expand, and the cooked porridge will be more soft and delicious. Soak lotus seeds and peanuts in water for 1 hour each to make them easier to cook and taste better. Note that there should be no "heart" in the middle of the lotus seeds, so that the porridge cooked will not have a bitter taste; After soaking the peanuts, the upper skin should be removed, so that the porridge will not taste astringent.
Scoop up the soaked glutinous rice by hand, re-wash it and put it in a small steamer, and steam it for 10 minutes over a strong fire (if you use a pressure cooker, the high pressure time is the same).
Add an appropriate amount of water to the glutinous rice, and at the same time put in the prepared red dates, raisins, dried longan, lotus seeds, peanuts, and water chestnuts together, and stir evenly with a rice spoon.
Cook over high heat for five minutes until the ingredients are fully integrated, and the porridge begins to show stickiness.
When the glutinous rice starts to appear sticky, add a certain amount of brown sugar. The amount of brown sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste, and if you like sweeter, you can put more. At this time, it should be cooked over low heat for 3 minutes to prevent the glutinous rice from being easily burned due to its stickiness due to too much fire.
When all the brown sugar is dissolved in the glutinous rice, gently stir with a rice spoon to turn the glutinous rice red, and then turn off the heat. Put the boiled porridge into a bowl, the aroma is tangy, the color is attractive, and it makes people salivate.
Tips: During the process of cooking porridge, pay attention to the control of the heat to prevent it from being scorched or too runny.
If you prefer a richer taste, you can add some other ingredients to the porridge, such as oats, mixed beans, etc.
The porridge is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrients, making it a healthy and delicious dish.
With the above steps, you can easily make delicious porridge at home.
