In autumn, the climate is dry and people are easy to get angry. The diet in this season should be light, and it is advisable to use cleansing and calming foods. Lotus seeds are rich in protein, starch, phospholipids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and vitamins and other nutritional and health ingredients. The content of iron in lotus seeds is also very rich. Lotus seeds can help clear heat and reduce fire, and can effectively reduce heart fire, soothe the mind and soothe the nerves. Lotus seeds can not only be used to make vegetables, desserts, and soups, but they are also delicious and nutritious when used in rice.

Pinto and Lotus Seed Rice

1. Prepare ingredients: rice, pinto beans and lotus seeds. I use slightly larger pinto beans. There are red beans, mung beans or cowpeas at home, all of which can be used

2. After washing the pinto beans, soak them in advance to make it easier to ripen and the rice is washed clean

3. Beans are not easy to ripen. First pour pinto beans and lotus seeds into the pressure cooker, add water, start the pressure cooker, cook for 15 minutes, simmer for a few minutes, then open the lid, the pinto beans and lotus seeds are also mature

4. Pour the rice into the pot, and the water level is a little bit higher than the rice. Start the pressure cooker again for about 5 minutes.

5. Look, the fragrant pinto and lotus seed rice is ready

6. Have a bowl and taste

7. Nutritious and delicious bowl of rice

Tips:
Because the beans are not easy to ripen, they are cooked and boiled first, and then the rice is added. Different rice absorbs different amounts of water, so pay attention to the amount of water added when making it. Pinto beans can be soaked in advance for easier ripening. It is best to buy the lotus seeds for making rice without cores, so that they won't have a bitter taste.
