Congee with Nuts and Dried Fruits

Introduction:

"In the past, in the folk, every family cooked porridge on Laba day, but every family took the trouble to offer porridge to their relatives, friends and neighbors. At this time, the meaning of drinking "Laba porridge" has changed. It means that people celebrate the harvest of grain, the prosperity of agriculture and share the fruits of labor. "

Production steps:

Step 1: there are at least eight kinds of grain materials. Put these materials in the material diagram, and count them. There are 11 kinds.

Step 2: for materials that are difficult to cook, such as white kidney beans, red beans, white fungus, rice kernel and red dates, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes in advance.

Step 3: wash the remaining materials and discharge them into the rice cooker. Pour in the soaked material as well.

Step 4: add water according to the amount of water we usually cook porridge.

Step 5: plug in the rice cooker. If you have porridge cooking function, press the porridge button. If you don't have porridge cooking function, press the rice button. After boiling in the pot, continue to cook for 30 minutes (stir several times to prevent sticking). Then set the rice cooker to the heat preservation position and cook overnight. The porridge will be very sweet and thick. Generally, Laba porridge is sweet, so add sugar and mix well before eating.

In this way, the Laba porridge is fragrant, thick and delicious. When cooking at home, I cook all kinds of materials in electric discharge rice cooker for 30 minutes before going to bed at night.
