    1. The lotus seed core is bitter, so it needs to be removed. Of course, if you don't mind, you can put the whole thing in the pot. The lotus seed core has the effect of clearing away heat and removing fire and is also good for the body. 2. Brown sugar is only used to color, so you don't have to put too much. 3. Beans are not easy to cook, so the ingredients should be put into the pot in order. If all are cooked together, the rice may be cooked but the beans will be raw. Of course, this also depends on the ingredients selected for the eight-treasure porridge.
