Speaking of eight-treasure rice, a plate of sweet eight-treasure rice with red dates, dried fruit, and red bean paste in it immediately came to mind. The traditional eight-treasure rice is steamed with glutinous rice, dried fruit, red dates, red bean paste, etc. Into. My family usually makes a home-cooked eight-treasure rice. The main ingredient is rice, with walnuts, glutinous rice, barley, red dates, etc. The process is the same as usual, and the ingredients are not limited to 8 types (more May be less), and has a certain nourishing effect.
Many southern friends in the circle of friends said that they would stew a pot of eight-treasure rice every Chinese New Year, and they would often do this to increase nutrition. This home-cooked eight-treasure rice and Laba porridge use the same ingredients. If you don’t have time to make Laba porridge when you are over Laba, you can make a pot of eight-treasure rice, which is much simpler and less trouble than making porridge.

Ingredients

Eight Treasure Rice

1. Prepare the ingredients first. The barley I use is fried, so it looks a bit yellow in color. You need to soak the rice in advance before using it.

2. Peel the walnuts and take the walnut kernels, wash the raisins with clean water (with sand), and weigh the required rice separately.

3. After washing the rice, glutinous rice, and barley, put them all in the rice cooker. Put the walnuts, raisins, and washed red dates in the pot together. Add the amount of water you normally use to make rice. Use the rice cooker to simmer the cooked rice.

4. The cooked rice can be eaten while it is hot, soft and delicious.

5. This unsweet home-cooked eight-treasure rice has a certain nourishing effect. Autumn and winter are the best time to eat walnut kernels. In addition to replenishing the brain, it also has the effects of moistening the intestines and laxatives, moisturizing dryness and benefiting the lungs.

Tips:
The ingredients of the home-cooked eight-treasure rice can be adjusted according to the ingredients you have on hand, and glutinous rice is added. Don't eat too much at one time and avoid pressing food.
The arowana small fresh rice I use is packaged in a can, and a can of 300 grams is suitable for 2 people. The flavor of millet is particularly fragrant, and the fragrance can be smelled when the lid is opened.
