It's too hot, so I rely on this bowl of porridge to live, to cool off the heat, clear the heat and soothe the nerves, drink 2 bowls at a time
This morning at 9 o'clock, I went downstairs to pick up a courier. By the way, I bought a handful of shallots at the small supermarket at the entrance of the community. When I got home, I was already sweating, and it took less than 15 minutes to go out. After entering Xiaoshu, the weather became hot and dry, the earth was scorched, and even the wind was full of heat waves. Hot weather can make people lose appetite, lethargic, and prone to heat stroke. Especially after lunch, it is even more sleepy, and the work efficiency is also reduced a lot.
In hot weather, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, and replenish water for the body in time to avoid heat stroke. At this time, I would cook some soups and porridges for my family to drink, such as red bean porridge, barley water, winter melon porridge, lily porridge, white fungus soup, mung bean porridge, etc. Drinking it regularly in summer is very beneficial to human health, especially in hot weather.
Mung bean is the most suitable soup to cool off the heat in summer. In some restaurants, there are often free mung bean soup for guests to drink. Mung beans are sweet and cool in nature, not only can replenish water and minerals in time, but also play an important role in maintaining the balance of water, liquid and electrolytes. At the same time, it has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving summer heat and eliminating vexation, and lowering blood lipids.
I added lily, lotus seeds, and longan to the mung bean soup, which doubled the nutrition. My family is drinking it these days. Lily contains protein and a variety of nutrients, which have the functions of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, tranquilizing the mind and soothing the mind, and beautifying the face. Lotus seeds have the functions of clearing away heat and reducing fire, helping sleep, nourishing and tonifying deficiency. Longan has the functions of invigorating the brain and calming the nerves, nourishing qi and nourishing blood.
This bowl of lily lotus seed mung bean porridge is very suitable for family members to drink in hot weather.
Main ingredients: mung bean, lily, lotus seed, longan, rock sugar
Detailed production steps
Every time the mung beans are boiled, they will be soaked in water the night before, and they can be cooked directly in the pot the next day. It doesn't take too long to cook them thoroughly. The next day, in order to save trouble, just put the lotus seeds and lily in it and soak them together for more than 1 hour. Or soak the lotus seeds and lilies in water in a separate small bowl.
Remove the shell of the longan and take out the pulp for later use.
After the water in the pot boils, add the soaked mung beans, lotus seeds, and lily, and cook slowly over medium heat.
Wait for 20 minutes, then add the longan, continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, turn off the heat, all the ingredients in the pot are cooked, and then turn off the heat. Before turning off the fire, add a few rock sugar to increase the taste.
The taste is sweet and nutritious, and I drank 2 bowls in one go.
In hot weather, I rely on this bowl of porridge to survive, to cool off the heat and relieve anxiety, clear heat and soothe the nerves, my family loves to drink it!
There is a saying: I soak the mung bean until the skin of the mung bean cracks before I cook it. If there is not enough time, or you forget to soak the mung beans in advance, you can soak the mung beans in boiling water for more than 2-3 hours. Don't put rock sugar too early, it will inhibit the cooking of the ingredients. It is recommended to wait until before the pot is put out.
