Eight treasure black rice porridge
Method
2. Rinse all the ingredients except for the wolfberries (reserve these to add later) and place them in a large pan, along with the drained lotus seeds, day-lily bulbs and the water.
3. Bring to the boil, skim off any scum, then simmer on a very gentle heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and adding more water if necessary. You should end up with a loose, soupy porridge.
4. Shortly before the porridge is ready, add the wolfberries and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
5. Serve warm, with sugar or honey to taste.
Cook's Note: Other possible additions are 10g raw barley and 10g dried foxnuts, which are occasionally found in Chinese grocers
