Eight Treasure Congee

1. Barley is more difficult to cook. Put enough water in the casserole, and then add the barley and the white fungus that have been soaked the night before. The red and mung beans are soaked the night before, and then go in.

2. After half an hour, the barley becomes more viscous, then add the japonica rice

3. After about 20 minutes, add fresh lotus seeds or dried lotus seeds that have been soaked

4. Then cover the pole and cook slowly~ I lived for more than an hour, be careful of spilling and sticking the pan, and then add the cleaned tangerine peel

5. Add the washed big red dates, continue to cover and cook, it will take about half an hour

6. Finally add the hawthorn slices. At this time, you don’t need to cover the lid to cook. Open the lid and stir. The whole porridge is thick. You can add some rock sugar before drinking.

Tips:
1. It is best not to put the ingredients in a random order. Red beans and mung beans must be put in advance, so they must be put in advance to the end to be sticky and delicious;
2. Don't put rock sugar when cooking porridge, otherwise it will be easy to cook and not sticky.
