【Millet, water chestnut and longan porridge】---different private millet porridge
Overview
Millet porridge is a porridge that is often cooked in many families. Millet warms the stomach and is very nutritious. The private millet porridge is innovative because jujubes and the like are added to the water in advance to make the taste richer and warmer to the stomach. How can you make millet porridge well? In addition to good millet, you also need to have the appropriate method and heat. This time I saw water chestnuts being sold on the roadside, so I made this millet porridge with water chestnuts. When I cooked it by myself before, I didn’t add water chestnuts, and only added millet, red dates and wolfberry. Because water chestnuts are added this time, water chestnuts are cool and cold in nature, so I added wolfberry, red dates and longan to neutralize its coolness. My trick for making millet delicious is to boil water in a pot first, then add the millet after the water boils, and use medium-low heat. If you want to add dates and wolfberry, put the water in the pot first, then add the wolfberry and dates, and then add the millet after boiling. The millet cooked in this way has a strong jujube flavor. But it is not advisable to put too many dates. Adding too much will make it bitter. Another thing to note is that water chestnuts cannot be eaten with pork. The millet I bought this time is new millet bought at a large market. It is very yellow and delicious. I bought it from another place once before. Although the rice has a fragrance, it is not yellow at all. I gave it away
