Millet Porridge (Congee)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Millet
• 4 cups Water
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Milk (Coconut or Oat)
• 2 tbsp Sugar or Honey

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 cup of millet in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cool running water until the water runs clear.
2. 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed 1 cup of millet, 4 cups of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, about 232°C.
3. 3Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The millet should be soft and the porridge should have thickened to your desired consistency.
4. 4Stir in the 1/2 cup of milk (coconut or oat) and the 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey until well combined.
5. 5Serve the millet porridge warm.
