Eight Treasure Porridge

Chinese Eight Treasures Porridge features eight different 'treasures' to make this delicious meal:
sticky rice, rice, crushed corn, red bean, mung bean, kidney bean, black rice, red jujube, hushed buckweat, peanut, lotus seed.

The recipe is incredibly simple and straight forward.

Take 1/3 cup of porridge and leave to soak in water for 2-3 hours.
Then, rinse the porridge and add to a pot along with 3 cups of boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 40-45 minutes, stirring very often to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Mix in some sugar and salt to taste.
