Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup dried small red beans (adzuki beans); water to cover; 1/4 cup barley; 1/2 cup glutinous sweet rice; 1/4 cup dried mung bean; 1/4 cup oats; 1/4 cup millet; 1/4 cup dried small pearl tapioca; 1/2 cup brown sugar, or more to taste; 1/4 cup raisins

1
Place red beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 3 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
2
Combine red beans and barley in a pot; add enough water to fill 1/2 the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until beans and barley are tender, about 1 hour.
3
Mix rice into bean-barley mixture; add more water if it has all been absorbed. Cook rice mixture for 20 minutes. Add mung beans; cook for 20 minutes.
4
Mix oats, millet, and tapioca into rice mixture; cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until all the grains are softened, about 20 minutes. Add more water to reach desired thickness of porridge. Stir brown sugar and raisins into porridge; cook for 5 minutes more. Remove pot from heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Serve hot or chilled.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
