Recently I came across on this healthy congee during surfing on the web, the black colours food is good for the kidney and avoid the grey hairs. Due to my sleeping nights were not good, so I decided to make an effort to consume it continuously during three weeks for breakfast.
In the traditional Chinese diet, five elements=five colours food=five entities & organs:
*metal=white=lung and large intestine,
*wood=green=liver and gallbladder
*water=black=kidney and bladder,
*fire=red=heart and small intestine,
*earth=yellow=spleen and stomach.
Recipe: (for 2 persons)
1 tbsp black bean
2 tbsp black rice
2 tbsp rice
3 tbsp semen coicis
1 tsp black sesame
2 pcs dry lily
6 pcs pecan (or peanut)
3 tbsp cane sugar
2 to 3 cups water (can adjust more or less before consuming)
Cooking method: electric rice cooker
Procedure:
*Due to the grains are very hard, we should put them into water overnight.
a) Put all the washed ingredients into the rice cooker the night before by setting the pre-cooking time;
b) In the next morning, just stir in the cane sugar to the congee, ready and serve ;)
**Enjoy!
最近我在網上衝浪的過程中，碰到這個健康的粥，黑顏色的食物有利於腎臟和防止白髮生長。由於我晚上睡覺很不好，所以我決定作出努力在連續三個星期食這個早餐。
在中國的傳統飲食，五行=五種顏色的食物=五個臟腑：
*金屬=白=肺與大腸，
*木=綠色=肝與膽
*水=黑=腎與膀胱，
*火=紅色=心臟和小腸，
*土=黃色=健脾和胃。
配方：（2人）
1湯匙 黑豆
2湯匙 黑米
2湯匙 米飯
3湯匙 薏苡仁
1小匙 黑芝麻
2個 乾百合
6個 山核桃（或花生）
3湯匙 蔗糖
2至3杯水（或多或少煮好之前可調整）
烹飪方法：電飯煲
步驟：
*由於穀物都非常硬，我們應該把它們放進水浸過夜。
a）將所有配料洗淨放入電飯鍋中，前一晚上設置預煮時間;
b）在第二天早上，煮熟便放甘蔗糖於鍋中粥內，完成。
**盡情享受吧！
