Ya, I am chinese and we eat that, as a dessert and as part of the main grains in the 8 treasure porridge.

I''m Chinese+Japanese so I eat them all the time. Anything you want to know about them?

 

[cindygenit]

Yes... how do you cook them in soup? Any good chinese recipes?

I heard that you can add them to your normal soup recipe... but i want something exotic LOL

What do you mean by exotic? For what kind of meal, snack?

Main staple, something like this. http://www.mickystaiwaneserecipes.com/simple-sweet-eight-treasure-congee

You can also add anything else you have, such as dates, wolfberry, etc.

As a dessert, a simple one is to just boil the beans in water with ginger until soft, and sweeten to taste.

ya, left it in the slow cooker/crockpot overnight, and you will have the porridge in the morning. But we eat it for all meals.

This is the recipe. Post it in the above reply. Same thing. http://www.mickystaiwaneserecipes.com/simple-sweet-eight-treasure-congee
