Homemade recipe for red date silver ear fungus rice porridge

Recently, there has been a sharp drop in temperature; it is minus ten degrees outside, and snow has fallen in many places. Winter is finally here. Because of the cold weather, both my husband and I have fallen ill, but we still need to take care of our two children, making things quite hectic. Especially during this extremely cold weather, the elder child needs to go to kindergarten, while the younger one is too young. Recently, she often took him along when picking up her big sister, which resulted in a cold for the younger one as well. There was no choice but to invite Grandma from my hometown to help out.

With someone extra at home, breakfast became an issue; we used to make various grains and beans.We were used to making soy milk, with its rich nutrition, which both my husband and I enjoyed. But Grandma said she is allergic to legumes and cannot eat them, so this had to be avoided. Alright, breakfast needs to cater to everyone's tastes, not just mine. Since cooking for the family means considering all their preferences, but making porridge every morning was unrealistic, I switched from grains and beans to nutritious oatmeal paste. This way, it saves time in the mornings, avoids Grandma eating legumes, and balances nutrition so that we can all eat healthily and happily.Today's recipe is a red date and silver ear oatmeal paste. It has the sweet aroma of dates and a slightly slippery texture due to the addition of silver ears; both elderly people and children love it. In our home, whether making soy milk or oatmeal paste, we always stick to using no sugar, enjoying its natural flavor.Some friends have suggested that without sugar, kids don't like it. However, developing a taste for food is something that can be cultivated; adding some dates if you want a sweet taste will suffice. Ingredients:

Main ingredients Appropriate amount of silver ear, 40g of red dates,rice40g, enough water. The rice porridge, with the sweet aroma of red dates, has a slightly slippery texture due to the addition of wood ear fungus; it's loved by both elders and children. Steps:1.

　　(I used a whole piece and only took about one-third) 2. Prepare the red dates and rice;

3. Tear the soaked silver ear into small pieces, remove the pit from the red dates, break them up, wash the rice, then put all these in the soy milk maker.4. Add an appropriate amount of water; my soy milk machine's highest level is 1300ml, and for our family of four adults plus a child, I usually fill it to this mark, which is perfect. 5. Put everything into the soy milk machine, plug in the power, select "nutritious oatmeal paste" mode, which will take 25 minutes.

(By this time, I can go prepare other foods)

6. Once done, there will be a notification; open the lid to reveal fragrant and thick oatmeal paste.7. Pour into bowls and serve with other meals at breakfast!
