Millet Porridge
Millet contains a variety of vitamins, amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates, with high nutritional value. Every 100 grams of millet contains 9.7 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fat, both no lower than rice or wheat.
Ingredients and Tools
- Millet
- Water (mountain spring water is best)
Measurements
- Millet 100 grams
- Water (mountain spring water is best) 2000 grams Use the above conditions to calculate the planned ingredient ratio.
Steps
- Millet 100 grams, put into a bowl, rinse lightly once with water (stir with your hand, pour off the water, just remove the surface dust, do not scrub!!!)
- Bring the water to a boil, must boil!!!
- When the water is boiling, pour the millet into the pot. (A very important step that is easy to overlook)
- Stir so the millet does not stick to the bottom, continue boiling on high heat for 6-10 minutes, be sure to stir a few times in between.
- Switch to medium heat, then low heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes, leave the lid slightly ajar, do not let the millet oil escape, continue stirring a few times in between, do not scorch the bottom
Notes
- This is for a regular pot (only 30-35 minutes total to finish), with the best flavor. Pressure cookers and rice cookers are easier but the result is worse; reduce the water appropriately, generally 100 grams millet + 1800 grams water
- Millet only needs water to remove surface dust, do not over-rinse or you will lose the millet oil
- Remember to add the millet only when the water is boiling
- I don’t like adding alkali and prefer the original millet aroma. If you follow this guide and find problems or improvements, please submit an Issue or Pull request.
