去濕料 (Hui Sup Liu)

Soup packet can be found in Aisle A9 at Marina.
Note about washing: best to lift the ingredients out by hand, leaving the wash water at the bottom, so that any remaining dirt can be easily spotted and removed.

1. Wash and soak all the brown ingredients for 1 hour and wash many times afterwards to remove sand and dirt.
2. Wash and soak all the hard, white ingredients (e.g., beans, barley) for 1 hour.
3. Wash all the soft, white ingredients (e.g., the ingredients that look like bark and twine).
4. Place ingredients in pot, fill pot 2/3 with water, and bring to a boil.
5. Add 1/2 cup of rice.
6. Simmer until ingredients are well-cooked and softened, about 1.5 to 2 hours.
7. Strain out inedible (i.e., brown) ingredients.
8. Add sugar to taste, approximately 1 brick of 冰片糖.
