Recently I looked in the mirror and found that I had tooth marks on my tongue. This condition is usually caused by moisture, the spleen and stomach are weak, and there is no appetite.
I used to drink red bean and barley water. This time I added a few more ingredients, red dates, peanuts and longans, all of which are mild ingredients that can neutralize the cold and are suitable for the whole family.
Children can also drink a little bit. If the spleen and stomach are not good and indigestion, they can only drink soup and not eat barley, because barley is more difficult for children to digest.
Mom’s reminder: I use fried barley. Raw barley is cold in nature. If the child eats it, it will easily cause diarrhea and aggravate dampness and coldness. The effect or eczema worsens). After frying, it is better to make porridge or soup to get rid of the cold.

Ingredients

10g Stir-fried Barley
15g Red Beans
5 pcs Red Dates
Some Longan
Some Peanut
Some Water

Four Red Barley Porridge

1. Prepare the ingredients you need. The fried barley I use is not so cold and suitable for the whole family.

2. It is best to soak barley and red beans a few hours in advance.

3. Pour into the rice cooker, I use less ingredients, just two bowls.
Water is usually ten times the amount of food.

4. It is usually made by appointment the night before. Try to make it at 4-5 in the morning, and let it be stuffed in the rice cooker for another 1-2 hours, so that the barley and red beans will be softer. You can eat it as soon as you get up early.

5. Such a bowl of breakfast porridge that nourishes qi and blood and removes moisture is simple and nutritious.
Just give your child some soup to avoid barley indigestion.

Tips:
If it is to remove moisture, do not enlarge the rice, because the rice is wet and cold, which is equivalent to adding moisture.

If it is made with an ordinary boiling pot, it will take a long time and the barley will not be soft. I personally recommend using an electric rice cooker to make it. It is best to use the one with reservation function.
