Technique
Steps to make Congee with White Gourd, Lotus, Rice and Mung Bean
- 1. Wash lotus seeds and soak them in hair in advance. If there are lotus seed hearts, do not remove them;
- 2. Wash winter melon and cut it into small pieces with skin;
- 3. Pick out impurities from mung beans and wash them clean;
- 4. Boil water in a pot, then add mung beans after the water boils;
- 5. After boiling again, boil over high heat for about 1 minute without covering;
- 6. Turn off the heat and pour out most of the mung bean soup.
- 7. The heat clearing and detoxifying effect of mung beans mainly lies on the skin of mung beans, and long-term boiling will lose its effectiveness. Therefore, the mung bean Congee that we cooked until it was rotten for a long time was nutritious, but it did not have the effect of clearing heat and detoxification. After boiling the water, add mung beans and simmer for 1-2 minutes to take out the mung bean soup. It not only has a green color, but also has a clear heat and detoxification effect. It can be used as a substitute for tea for adults and children. This is the "by-product" of cooking mung bean Congee, which must not be missed——
- 8. Add an appropriate amount of boiling water to the pot again, bring to a boil over high heat, and then add washed rice;
- 9. At the same time, add the soaked lotus seeds, boil them over high heat, turn to medium heat, and cook until the rice Congee is thick;
- 10. Add winter melon;
- 11. Add rock sugar;
- 12. Continue to cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the rock sugar dissolves and the winter melon softens.
