Porridge notes

1. Fresh lotus seeds are more fragrant and easier to cook, but they are seasonal; dried lotus seeds can be refrigerated for a longer time, are not restricted by seasons, and are easy to buy.

2. If you use dried lotus seeds, they will not be easy to cook after soaking in water, so just wash them and add them directly.
