FAQs
Quick questions
Can I use barley instead of coix?
Chinese barley and coix are related kitchen grains, but this pot is written for coix seed (薏苡仁). Ask a physician before swapping if your pattern is specific.
Is white hyacinth bean the same as lentil?
The classical ingredient is 白扁豆 (Bai Bian Dou). Use the Chinese hyacinth bean sold for soup, not Western brown lentils, unless a physician advises a swap.
