Barley, red bean, lotus seed, lily, longan health porridge

Although it is called porridge, I think it is more appropriate to call it soup, because the porridge made from the five ingredients of coix seed, red beans, lotus seeds, lily and longan is clear and has no sticky feeling of porridge at all. But if you add a handful of rice into it, it becomes porridge. But according to Chinese medicine, although only a handful of rice is added, all the ingredients in it are wasted! This means that the original effect of the soup in nourishing the spleen and eliminating dampness is lost. Therefore, some ingredients of this soup can be replaced with red dates, yam, water chestnut, millet, and oatmeal, and mixed according to your own constitution, but rice is the only thing you cannot add.
