Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare raw materials: rice, pinto beans and lotus seeds. I used slightly larger pinto beans. If you have red beans, mung beans or cowpeas at home, you can use them.

   

2. 2 After washing the pinto beans, soak them in advance so they can mature more easily, and wash the rice thoroughly.

   

3. 3 Beans are not easy to mature. Pour the pinto beans and lotus seeds into the pressure cooker first, add water, start the pressure cooker, cook for 15 minutes, simmer for a few minutes, and then open the lid. The pinto beans and lotus seeds will be mature.

   

4. 4 Pour the rice into the pot until the water level is a little higher than the rice. Start the pressure cooker again and wait for about 5 minutes.

   

5. 5 Look, the fragrant bean and lotus seed rice is ready.

   

6. 6 Come and try a bowl.

   

7. 7 A nutritious and delicious bowl of rice.
