Ingredients: 100 grams of red beans, 50 grams of barley, Accessories: 800 grams of water, appropriate amount of rock sugar

Wash the red beans. If you stew in a casserole or rice cooker, you have to soak the red beans for about 6 hours in advance to cook. I use an electric pressure cooker, so I don’t need to soak
3.
Wash the bought barley with water first, and drain the water
4.
When the wok is hot, there is no need to add oil, just stir fry slowly over a low fire, and fry the barley until the moisture is dry, and the aroma can be out of the pot. Many people put the ingredients directly in the red bean and barley soup. Stewing it in a pot will save this step, but the barley itself is a bit cold food. If it is boiled and drunk directly, it will make the body more damp, so be sure to fry the barley first so that it can serve. The effect is that when the barley has a little brown color, put it out of the pot and let it cool for later use.

Add red beans and stir-fried barley into an electric pressure cooker, because the "red beans" in Chinese medicine refers to Chixiaodou, which has a strong effect on strengthening the spleen and dampness, reducing swelling and detoxification.

Tips:
1. People with less sweat and constipation should avoid eating it because barley is diuretic and oozing dampness, and the water is drained from the urethra, and the intestines will become dry. Eating barley and red bean soup will only aggravate the constipation.
2. People with poor digestion ability eat less barley. The sugar contained in coix seed is more viscous, so eating too much may hinder digestion. For people with weak digestion and absorption ability, try to eat less or not.
3. Women who are menstruating should avoid taking it, because Coix seed will make the body cold and weak, and it is not suitable for long-term use. So women who are menstruating should avoid taking it.
