Best Millet Sweet Potato Congee Recipes
MILLET-SWEET POTATO CONGEE
I read that a millet porridge with sweet potatoes (and sometimes chestnuts) was a traditional dish in Northern China, and pulled together the proportions, method, and seasonings from a variety of sources. Have for breakfast or as a side dish. Congee is by definition mushy and bland, so be sure you are prepared for that if you make this. Everything in this is very good for you. I think you could use apples or pears instead of sweet potatoes.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the millet.
- Put all ingredients except honey and cooked sweet potatoes (if using) in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until it forms a porridge- 1 hour or so.
- If you are using cooked sweet potatoes, add them at the end and stir until hot- this will yield a chunkier porridge; raw ones cooked for an hour pretty much dissolve.
- Turn off the heat.
- Stir in the honey.
- Ladle into bowls.

Steps:
- Rinse millet under running water and drain well in a strainer.
- Stovetop instructions: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil, then add rinsed millet and cubed sweet potato. Reduce heat to maintain a slow simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The porridge is done when the millet is tender but still holds its shape. At this point you can serve it, or continue to cook for 10 more minutes for a thicker, creamier consistency.
- Instant Pot instructions: add rinsed millet, water, sweet potato and dried dates to the Instant Pot and set to MANUAL on high pressure for 15 minutes (make sure the pressure valve is set to seal). After the timer beeps, allow pressure to natural release for 15 minutes. Open lid and give everything a stir.
- Ladle millet congee into bowls and serve hot. You can add maple syrup, rock sugar, or brown sugar for desired sweetness.
