Can red beans be cooked with rice?

Red beans have the effect of removing moisture and are a good dehumidifying food. In addition, adzuki beans, which we call red beans, can be boiled in water or cooked into porridge, but is it okay to cook adzuki beans and rice together? It is completely fine to cook the two foods together, and it has a good blood-replenishing effect for female guys. When choosing red beans, you should choose good quality ones, and it is best to add coix seed to cook porridge, which will be better for dehumidification.

Red beans and rice can be cooked together. In Japan, girls must eat red bean rice when they have their first menstrual period, as a celebration ceremony for their coming of age. Koreans also often make red bean rice to entertain relatives and friends. So red beans can be cooked with rice.

However, if you want to use red bean and coix seed porridge to remove dampness, it is not recommended to add rice, because rice grows in water, contains moisture, and is sticky, so the rice will become thick once it is boiled. Red beans and coix seeds are both dehumidifying, and do not contain moisture themselves, so no matter how they are boiled, the soup will not be thick and will be very clear. Traditional Chinese medicine uses its cleansing properties to remove moisture from the human body. Once rice is added, moisture is added, so the whole porridge becomes thick. Although the taste is better, it is not good for health. Because of that handful of rice, all the red beans and coix seeds are wasted and have no effect.
