There is a saying in my country’s traditional diet that “the grains are good for nourishment, but the beans are not good”. The Chixiaodou used here is called the "Valley of the Heart" by Li Shizhen, which is the best for health preservation; in addition to clearing heat and detoxification, mung beans can also nourish the skin and beautify the eyes; and black beans are a good medicine for kidneys, which can also be used for dark hair.
The refined white rice that we eat in daily life loses its nutritional value during the processing process, leaving only a small amount of carbohydrates and protein. The reason why brown rice is used is that all the ingredients in brown rice are present, and there are many trace elements, which are very beneficial to the human body.

2. Soak the beans for 2 hours first

3. Peel the horseshoe and cut into small pieces; cut the dried tangerine peel into small pieces

4. In addition to the rock sugar, the other ingredients are put in the electric pressure cooker, and the appropriate amount of water is added. I chose the "Eight Treasure Congee" button.

5. You can open the lid and add rock sugar and stir well and cook for a while.

Tips:
a. Cooking bean porridge or soup with a little tangerine peel can make the beans softer and more delicious;
b. Beans and brown rice are more time-consuming to cook. It is best to use a pressure cooker to make them softer and more delicious;
c. You can also season with salt if you don't like sweetness. Using rock sugar will moisturize a bit.
