INGREDIENTS:
2 cups glutinous rice 1/4 cup barley 1/2 cup green and/or yellow millet, equal amounts mixed together
1/4 cup sorghum (susu), red-grained variety 1/2 cup red soybeans 3/4 teaspoon salt



1 Cover the glutinous rice with water and soak overnight. Drain.
2 In another pan, soak the barley, green and yellow millet and the sorghum grains overnight, covered with water. Then drain.
3 Cook the red beans slowly in about 4 cups water. The beans are quite hard and will take from 2 to 3 hours of cooking. Then test a bean by squeezing to see if it can be crushed. If so, the beans are ready. Reserve the liquid and measure it. Add enough water to make a total of 2-1/2 cups liquid. Set aside.
4 Mix the glutinous rice, red beans, barley, millet, sorghum and salt all together, add the reserved bean liquid, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low and cook for about 12 minutes, enough to soften all the ingredients. The liquid from the red beans will tint the 5 grains a pink color.
5 Serve warm or at room temperature.
