How to make five-grain health porridge

1. Wash buckwheat, coix seed, black rice, Euryale ferox, peeled mung bean, brown rice, red bean, and wheat kernel, and soak them in water for two hours. Shell the longan. Wash the red dates and glutinous rice and set aside.

2. Put the above raw materials into the pressure cooker, add 1500ml of water, cover the lid and valve, and turn off the fire after the gas is released on high heat. Wait until all the gas is released, then turn on the fire again and cook until the gas is released, then turn off the fire. Do this after three times of gas release.

3. If you like sweet food, you can add sugar when eating, but brown sugar is best, which is the best effect in replenishing blood and qi.

Tips for making healthy five-grain porridge

1. Here is a good way to cook rice porridge in a pressure cooker to save gas and quickly: As mentioned above, cover the pressure valve and turn off the fire after the gas is released or after 15 minutes, turn on the fire again and cook until the gas is released, then turn off the fire. In this way, it can be done after 2-3 times of release. My experience is that if it is ordinary white rice porridge, it is very good to use it only twice. If it is grain rice, if the grains are not soaked in advance, three times will be enough. If soaked in advance, two times is enough. Of course, it depends on the specific situation of each pressure cooker. My family uses Supor's energy ring, which is really effective. Sometimes I am lazy and don't wait until the gas is released before turning on the fire again, and the effect is also very good. As for the electric pressure cooker, I haven't tried it, you can try it, the principle is the same, but the time is different. But you must wait until the gas is completely released before opening the lid.

2. If you are in a hurry, you don’t need to soak the grains in water in advance. I often cook them when I get home from get off work. There is no difference in taste and texture.

3. In addition to the above-mentioned grains, you can also decide according to your own situation. But in any case, it is recommended not to save on coix seed, black rice, Euryale ferox, brown rice, red beans, red dates, longan, and polished rice.

4. Japonica rice must not be omitted. It can make the porridge sticky, and at the same time it can alleviate the rough taste of grains and protect the stomach. You can use glutinous rice instead, but it is easy to increase the burden on the stomach. And glutinous rice is also high in calories. I personally still like japonica rice. Northeast rice is good.
