I woke up late this morning. I was in a hurry to go to work, so I didn’t have time to make breakfast. I went to buy breakfast nearby and bought a cup of millet porridge. It is also called millet porridge in our dialect. When I went home and drank the millet porridge I bought, it just didn't feel good. It didn't taste like home or what I remembered. No, I finished my work today, came back early, and cooked a pot of millet porridge at home. You can drink it plain, you can drink it with sugar, or you can drink it cold and put it in the refrigerator for your next meal. Millet is an important food crop in some areas of northern my country. Millet, whose scientific name is millet, is also called "millet". In ancient times, it was also called "grain" and "liang". Millet contains a variety of vitamins, amino acids , fats and carbohydrates , and has high nutritional value. The method of millet porridge is very simple, but it is not difficult to make millet porridge. Every family has its own taste, but it is not easy to make delicious millet porridge. In the process of cooking millet porridge , we also figured out some tips and gradually created the taste of mother and home in our impression. The millet porridge made this way is more delicious and feels more like home!
Prepare ingredients: millet, water.
[Specific method]
1. Wash rice. When choosing millet in , you must choose fresh millet from this year. Choose fresh millet that is golden in color and smells like rice. When washing rice, do not rub it with your hands, because millet is shelled. If you rub it hard, a large amount of vitamins will be lost in the millet. We only need to lightly pass it with clean water once or twice. Wash the millet and soak it for half an hour.
2. Boil in the pot. We should boil boiling water first, and then add the washed millet to the water. Put enough water in the pot. Be sure not to add water halfway. The water is generally 15-20 times the amount of ingredients. Simmer over high heat for 5-8 minutes, then over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes. Don't be lazy during this period. Stir the pot when the rice is first put into the pot to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Try to uncover the pot lid as little as possible when boiling it. In order to prevent overflowing, you can leave a slit when covering the pot lid. When the rice becomes flower-like, the thick and fragrant millet porridge is ready. After cooking, you can add a little cooking oil, cover and simmer with residual heat for about 10 minutes. The millet cooked in this way is more fragrant. Of course, you can also add no oil, as it varies from person to person.
Note: It is wrong to directly boil in a pot with cold water. The temperature of the pot under cold water is not high enough. The starch content in millet is relatively high. The starch cannot gelatinize quickly, so the soup will be clear and watery. Cooking under cold water will make it sticky. Possibility of pot. Millet placed in a pot under boiling water will not easily sink to the bottom and stick to the pot.
In some areas, they like to add edible alkali to make the rice softer. After cooking it for more than half an hour, add a little bit of edible alkali. However, the taste of millet porridge with edible alkali will be affected. (It is not recommended to put in for pregnant women and infants, because adding alkali to rice will destroy the vitamins B1 and B2 in rice). If you have the conditions at home, you can put some pumpkin and soaked wolfberry. After cleaning the pumpkin, peel off the skin, then cut it into small cubes and cook it with millet. This kind of millet porridge will be more flavorful, nutritious and appetizing.
Have a bowl of millet porridge together, let it warm your stomach and care for your heart.The taste in memory is the most difficult to restore. The taste of home is irreplaceable. There are many dishes that taste like my mother in my memory, but they are unique. I guess it is the taste of love~
