First, soak the rice until it is soft. Good rice is essential for making soft and sticky porridge. Only when the rice is soaked can you make soft and smooth porridge. Similarly, red beans and mung beans should also be soaked first, and the soaking time of beans should be longer than that of rice. Then start cooking the porridge, add water that is half a finger high and boil the rice over high heat, then switch to low heat and simmer slowly until the porridge thickens. Stir the porridge constantly during the process to prevent the porridge from sticking to the pot and also to prevent the porridge from overflowing. The order of putting the other ingredients in is to put the harder to cook ingredients first, and then the easier to cook ingredients. When all the ingredients become sweet and soft, the eight-treasure porridge is ready.
