Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Notes

Ingredients:
  • Millet: 1/4 cup (60g)
  • Water: 4 cups (1L)
  • Optional for serving: Sugar, to taste
  • Optional for serving: Pickles, dried radish, fermented tofu, or pork floss, to taste
Instructions:
  1. Rinse the millet and soak it in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain the water.
  2. In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Gently add the soaked millet to the boiling water without covering the pot. Stir gently until it returns to a boil, then reduce to low heat.
  3. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. This prevents the porridge from overflowing.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes. Stir the porridge after 15 minutes to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  5. Once cooked, let the porridge sit for 15 minutes to allow a layer of golden millet cream to form on the surface.
  6. Enjoy your millet porridge, an excellent meal for any time of the day or night.
