Steps

1

Rinse the red beans and lotus seeds thoroughly. After opening vacuum-sealed packages of nuts or dried fruits, store them in clear, airtight containers in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to see what you have and use up ingredients efficiently.
2

The inner pot of the electric pressure cooker should be made of food-grade stainless steel. I often use it to cook black rice without soaking, and it turns out great. For the soup, adjust the water to your preferred consistency. I use a 1:3 ratio (410 grams of red beans and lotus seeds to 5 1/4 cups water [about 1230 ml]). This makes a flavorful soup, perfect for breakfast porridge if you don’t add too much water. Select the soup mode and cook for 30 minutes. Let it sit without opening the lid, then unplug and let it rest until you’re ready to serve.
3

Portion the soup into airtight containers for each serving. This makes a nutritious and filling breakfast soup ready to go.
4

I usually don’t add sugar, as I prefer to avoid it for breakfast. If you like it sweet, add your preferred amount of sugar while the soup is still hot.
