Hello Everybody Today I will be showing you my version of the 8 TREASURE PORRIDGE sometimes also known as HEAVENLY 8 TREASURE PORRIDGE or LONGEVITY PORRIDGE. This is mostly eaten during CHINESE NEW YEAR and as it is also known that for Chinese the Number 8 represents good fortune and good prosperity. The ingredients for this PORRIDGE will add up to 8 different items. Its easy to make and in this video I show you my 8 COLLECTED TREASURE INGREDIENTS. Firstly bring a 1 litre of water to boil and start by adding all the soaked overnight ingredients like30gm red beans, 30g pearl barley, 30g lotus seeds and 30g peanuts. Cover with a lid and boil for 25-30 minutes. After 25minutes, remove lid and add 12 red dates and about 15gm dried longans, a mixture of 30gm soaked overnight glutinous rice and jasmine rice and 30gm black glutinous rice (optional) and cover the lid of the pot and continue boiling for another 20-30minutes.Add more water if the porridge becomes too thick. Once the rice and all the ingredients have soften enough, now you can add the 30gm precooked gingko nuts, 30gm goji berries, a few slices of fresh lemon peel or tangerine peel and more water. Boil a further 10minutes. At this point I have already used total of1.5l water. Finally add 75gm rock sugar to sweeten the porridge and extra water to adjust to the thickness of porridge to your liking. It is ready to be served. Serve warm. BON APETITE!!!
