December of the lunar calendar is also known as the twelfth month. Therefore, the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is also known as the Laba. I remember when I was a kid, there was a glib - don't be greedy, kid. It's the year after Laba. After Laba, the taste will become stronger. When I was a child, I didn't like Laba as much as looking forward to the new year. New year's holiday can be enlarged without going to school. There are lots of snacks and delicious food, new clothes and new year's money. More importantly, as long as you don't go to the house and get rid of tiles during the new year's holiday, you can't be repaired by adults who make small mistakes. You can be wild. Now I'm getting older. I lost interest in all the festivals. The only thing I keep is that I love the delicious food of every festival. So of course, I have to drink Laba porridge on Laba Festival. When I was preparing the food, I found that there were many kinds of grains in my family. And he took a handful of each, except for rice, glutinous rice, millet, black rice, red kidney beans, walnuts, peanuts, lotus seeds, dates, raisins
Step1:Raw materials for preparation: 40g rice, 40g glutinous rice, 40g millet, 40g black rice, 40g red kidney beans, 6 walnuts, 40g peanuts, 40g lotus seeds, 6 red dates, 10g raisins, 10g longan, 20g yellow beans, 40g green beans, 20g black beans, 40g red beans, 8chestnuts, 20g job's tears, 40g peas, 5g crystal sugar, and proper amount of water.
Step2:Soak red kidney beans, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, black beans, red beans, job's tears and peas, which are hard and not easy to cook, in water overnight in advance.
Step3:Wash rice, glutinous rice, millet, black rice, job's tears and lotus seeds and soak them in water for three hours. Remove the shells of chestnuts and osmanthus.
Step4:The red dates are washed, cored and cut into strips.

Cooking tips:1. The weight is about. I grabbed a handful of each kind of food. Laba porridge doesn't need so many ingredients. Seven or eight kinds are OK. Nowadays, the supermarket has the raw materials of Laba porridge ready for purchase every year near Laba Festival. You can also match them according to your own eating habits. 2. Beans are hard. They are not easy to cook. They need to be soaked in advance. 3. Beans and chestnuts are hard to cook, so you have to put them in the pot first. In this way, the main purpose of adding ingredients in batches is to avoid that some ingredients are too soft and rotten at the same time, while some ingredients are not cooked and taste very hard at the same time, thus affecting the overall taste of porridge. 4. It's easy to use electric pressure cooker. But the taste and taste are worse. I like porridge cooked slowly in casserole. It's very fragrant. This time, because the casserole is stewed with other things, I choose to use this pot to cook. The advantage of this pot is that it is particularly hot. It has a very powerful heat preservation function like the casserole. Its disadvantages are similar to many pots
