Not sweet rice pudding
Overview
When talking about rice pudding, a plate of sweet rice pudding with red dates, dried fruits and red bean paste immediately comes to mind. The traditional rice pudding is steamed with glutinous rice, dried fruits, red dates, red bean paste, etc. My family usually makes a home-cooked eight-treasure rice. The main ingredient is rice, with walnut kernels, glutinous rice, barley, red dates, etc. added. The method is the same as the usual rice-making process. The ingredients are not limited to 8 kinds (more or less), and it has a certain nourishing effect. Many southern friends in the circle of friends said that they would stew a pot of eight-treasure rice like this during holidays, and they would often do this to increase nutrition. The ingredients for this home-style rice pudding are similar to those of Laba porridge. If you don’t have time to cook Laba porridge during the Laba Festival, you can make a pot of rice pudding, which is much simpler and less troublesome than cooking porridge.

Steps
-
Prepare all the ingredients first. The barley I use is fried, so it looks a little yellow in color. You need to soak it in advance before using it when making rice.
-
Peel the walnuts to get the walnut kernels, wash the raisins in clean water (there is sand), and weigh the rice to be used.
-
Wash the rice, glutinous rice, and barley and put them all into the rice cooker. Put the walnut kernels, raisins, and washed red dates into the pot as well. Add the usual amount of water for making rice, and simmer the rice in the rice cooker.
-
The cooked rice can be served while it is still hot. It is soft and glutinous and delicious.
-
This non-sweet home-cooked eight-treasure rice has a certain nourishing effect. Autumn and winter are the best times to eat walnut kernels. In addition to nourishing the brain, it also has the functions of moisturizing the intestines, laxative, and moisturizing the lungs.
