1. Wash black rice, glutinous rice, white rice, red beans thoroughly, then put them into the rice cooker. Add red dates, peanuts and rock sugar.
Rinse all grains, beans, peanuts, and red dates thoroughly.

2. Pour water up to the porridge level mark of 0.25 cup rice (equivalent to the 2.5 cup mark for regular cooking mode).
Soak the rinsed ingredients in clean water for 2–4 hours to achieve a softer texture and faster cooking.

3. Soak all ingredients overnight for better texture. Select the porridge mode on the rice cooker and cook for 60 minutes. You can also set a timer to cook overnight, so the porridge is ready when you wake up.
Put all soaked ingredients into a pot and pour in enough water to cover them.

4. Once finished cooking, stir well and serve. This recipe makes about 2 bowls of warm multigrain porridge.
Granulated sugar: around 20g, add lightly to avoid overly sweet taste
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Feel free to DIY and adjust ingredients to your taste.
If you are allergic to nuts, you may skip them. No need to force ingredients, mix and match freely.

Turn to low heat and simmer for 40–60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.
Add rock sugar in the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir until fully dissolved.
Turn off the heat and let the porridge rest for 10 minutes to achieve a thicker, creamier texture.

For a nut-free version, omit the raw peanuts.

Soaking the grains and beans reduces cooking time and ensures a softer texture.

How can I make this porridge vegan?
This recipe is already vegan as it uses plant-based ingredients.
Can I use brown sugar instead of rock sugar?
Yes, brown sugar can be used as a substitute, but it will slightly change the flavor profile.
Do I need to soak the ingredients if I’m using a pressure cooker?
Soaking is not necessary if using a pressure cooker, as it will cook the ingredients faster.
How can I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
