Life Tips

●Many people like to put the ingredients of Laba porridge into the pot and cook them together. In fact, this is not advisable, because beans are generally not easy to cook through. Therefore, when making Laba porridge, it is best not to put rice and beans in the pot at the same time.

● In addition to cooking Laba porridge in a casserole, here is a quicker method recommended - cooking it in a pressure cooker. If this method is used, the beans do not need to be soaked a day in advance, and they can be easily cooked. However, it is best not to use millet as an ingredient when cooking in a pressure cooker, because millet can easily clog the valve of the pressure cooker. If you must use it, do not cover the pressure cooker lid when cooking.

●Everyone has their own preferences for the ingredients of Laba porridge. Basically, you can try using various coarse grains, nuts, raisins and other dried fruits.
