  In one day, it is recommended to eat fresh and when the temperature is higher, you can cool the uneaten red bean and barley porridge and then cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.

  When the temperature is not very high, you can boil the uneaten red bean and barley porridge again, kill all the bacteria, and then store it in a cooler place.
