Xiao Mi Zhou (Millet Porridge) image

Millet porridge, of the most common breakfast foods in China, is simple, slightly sweet and nutty-tasting. It's also nourishing, hydrating, and extremely healthy. It's not as exciting as Hei Mi Zhou, the many-ingredients mixed black rice porridge, but it's quickly become a staple even here in the states for me.

1/2 cup dry millet

Steps:

  • Toast millet in bottom of pan or in skillet over medium-high heat for 5 - 8 minutes, until some aroma begins to waft.

  • Add millet to boiling water and boil over medium-high to low heat for 15 - 25 minutes, until done. It will not absorb all the water, but some color and starch will be released to let you know as cooking finishes.
