Tips for making

Beans are not easy to cook, especially red beans. You need to put them in the freezer for 2 hours before cooking, otherwise the beans will become mushy quickly. Or when the water boils, add cold water several times. After being "stimulated" by cold water several times, the beans will be easily cooked!

When cooking bean porridge, many people are used to soaking the beans in water in advance, but this actually makes it harder to cook. The older generation likes to add some alkali when cooking porridge to make it cook faster, but in this way, the vitamin B2 in the beans is almost completely destroyed.

Method 2

Job's tears and red beans are very good for the body, but neither beans nor job's tears are easy to cook. You can soak the ingredients in warm water in advance, or you can use a pressure cooker. Add rock sugar when cooking. The sweetness will penetrate into the mixture and it will taste delicious!

1. Wash and soak the coix seeds for 20 minutes

2. Put all the ingredients into a pot, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until the barley is cooked.
