Steps
-
Prepare the red dates: These dates are very big and need to be soaked for about 10 minutes in advance to make them slightly swollen, and then washed, otherwise the dates will be too dry and you will not be able to wash them cleanly.
-
Prepare a portion of millet and determine the amount according to the number of people. 1 tablespoon of millet can cook 3 bowls of millet porridge. It is best to choose fresh millet. The cooked millet porridge will be golden and have a rich rice aroma.
-
Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, add a little more, do not add water in the middle, add the red dates at the same time, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, then add the washed millet, stir evenly with a spoon, bring to a boil over high heat, and turn to low heat. Remember: the millet must be boiled under water so that it does not burn or stick to the bottom.
-
Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. If you have time, you can cover the pot and keep an eye on it. Otherwise, there is no need to cover the pot, because millet is particularly easy to fall into the pot. If you are not careful, it will fall into the pot, so I never cover the pot and cook slowly over low heat. Put the pot under boiling water and cook over low heat. The millet will not stick to the bottom of the pot, and the more it cooks, the more sticky it becomes.
-
Turn off the heat, sprinkle in the washed wolfberry seeds, and remove from the pot. A bowl of sweet and smooth red dates, wolfberry and millet porridge for breakfast will keep you energetic all morning.
