Three different gruels; $100\%$ rice, $70\%$ rice and $30\%$ sprouted black bean with sprout, and $100\%$ rice and $70\%$ sprouted black bean, were prepared. Organoleptic, chemical and rheological properties were compared according to the heating time and the quantity of water. Regarding to the the rheological properties, the gruel with $30\%$ rice and $70\%$ sprouted black bean with sprout revealed the lowest level of solidity and the highest level of viscosity among these three kinds of gruels. The chemical properties; pH, total sugar content and amylose content were similar each other. In terms of organoleptic properties, the best gruel was made with $30\%$ rice and $70\%$ sprouted black bean with sprout. In addition, the best cooking condition was found that 9 times of water to the weight of rice and sprouted black bean with sprout, was used follows by 40 minutes' heating.
