Tips
1.I chose the Hami jujubes from Xinjiang.They are sweet no matter how you cook them.You can put them in earlier.Some jujubes will become sour the longer they are cooked.Don’t put them in too early.Just put them in when the pot is about to start.
2.When turning off the heat, simmering for a while without opening the lid will be more delicious than opening the lid directly.
3.Adding brown sugar is also a good choice, especially for our female friends, eating more brown sugar is good for our health.
4.Boiling in boiling water can preserve the nutrients of japonica rice and prevent it from being lost.
5.You can add some longan and wolfberry in it as you like.
