How to make Chinese yam and lily porridge

1. Peel the yam

If you want the yam and lily porridge to be especially delicious, you should wash the yam with clean water and peel off the skin, wash the white flesh inside with clean water, cut it into pieces, and cook the porridge with other ingredients. Because the surface of the yam has a bitter taste, if you don't remove it, it will affect the taste of the porridge.

2. Soak the barley

Job's tears is an important ingredient in making yam and lily porridge. It must be soaked in clean water for a period of time before being put into the pot to cook the porridge. The time should be about three hours. This will allow the job's tears to absorb water and swell, and it can be cooked through in a short time when put into the pot. It can be cooked together with other ingredients.

3. Cut the red dates into pieces

If you want the yam and lily porridge to taste good when it is cooked, you must wash the red dates, cut them into pieces, and remove the date pits. In this way, the nutrients in the dates can be better precipitated into the water during the cooking process, allowing the cooked yam and lily porridge to have a light date fragrance and a relatively sweet taste, which tastes particularly good.

4. Time to serve the porridge

Many people feel that the yam and lily porridge they cook does not taste good, which is also closely related to the time when the porridge is taken out of the pot. When cooking porridge, you cannot take it out of the pot immediately after turning off the fire. Instead, you should simmer the porridge in the pot for about half an hour, so that the high temperature in the pot can further steam the ingredients. This will make the porridge taste smoother, more glutinous, and more refreshing.
