Reading guide: As the saying goes, "the plan of the day lies in the morning", every morning, no matter how busy, we must take good care of ourselves, for example, every morning, I will insist on making a nutritious breakfast for my family, which has been insisted on for more than 10 years. And in my family, I will often boil millet porridge for my family to drink, because the "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that millet "cures nausea and dysentery, cooks porridge, benefits dantian, replenishes weakness, and opens the stomach". Although many people, like me, especially like to drink millet porridge, the millet porridge that I boil at home either does not smell fragrant, or the porridge does not have a little oil and drinks like water.
Don't underestimate the millet porridge, the millet porridge I used to cook was also super unpalatable, and then I knew a master Zhang who specializes in selling all kinds of porridge, and the various porridges it boiled are not only fragrant and sticky, but also the millet porridge that is especially boiled, the fragrance of millet is particularly strong, and the rice oil is super thick, which is the best I have ever drunk. Later, I asked Master Zhang, why is your millet porridge so delicious! Master Zhang is also very generous, and told me all the skills of boiling millet porridge, since I learned Master Zhang's method, they all praise me for the taste of the millet porridge and the porridge shop.
As far as I know, when many people boil millet porridge, they directly put millet into water to boil, in fact, when boiling millet porridge, don't boil it directly with water! Learn these 3 tricks, the porridge is fragrant and sticky, and the rice oil is thick. Next, I will explain the steps of boiling millet porridge to you in detail.
Ingredients: 70 grams of millet, 700 ml of water.
Method:
Step 1: Select Xiaomi
Millet is divided into large yellow rice and small yellow rice, large yellow rice is large, light yellow, and relatively glutinous to eat, and it is generally used to wrap zongzi and eat. Yellow millet has small particles, golden color, and the porridge cooked with it is more beautiful in color, and it can also produce rice oil. Don't keep rubbing the millet by hand when you buy it, so that the grease and other substances on the surface of the millet will be rubbed away, and you can rinse the millet with running water. It is best to buy yellow millet and choose the new rice of the year, do not buy old rice, the older the millet, the less oil yield!
Step 2: Fry millet
Drain the washed millet and put it in the pot, slowly fry the millet over medium heat, about 2 minutes, you can turn off the heat after a little millet cracks, don't fry it for too long, otherwise the millet will be paste, and when boiling millet, millet will be very bad.
Step 3: The ratio of millet and water
I studied a lot of ratios and found that the ratio of millet to water is 1:10 is the most suitable, and the millet boiled out of this ratio is fragrant and sticky, but it is not sticky to the mouth and throat at all, and it is swallowed lightly. There is too much water, and the millet porridge is very thin, and there will hardly be any oil floating on the surface of the porridge!
Step 4: Don't put oil and baking soda
Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, boil the water over high heat, and then put the fried millet in the pot and boil slowly, no need to put oil, baking soda and any other substances, adding it will affect the taste of millet porridge, and then slowly stir the millet to prevent the millet from sticking to the pot, about 2-3 minutes, after the millet is stirred evenly, you can not stir, at this time change to medium and low heat, and simmer the millet for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Boil millet
After 5 minutes, the millet has been boiled to 8 ripe, and at this time it is time to start stirring the millet slowly, because the soup in the pot is very viscous now, and it is easy to paste the pot without stirring.
Step 6: Simmer the millet
Turn off the heat immediately after 4 minutes, cover the pot at the same time, and simmer the millet for 15 minutes, a thick layer of oil will come out of the surface of the millet, and the rice oil is the thickest after simmering for 30 minutes. The last step is particularly critical to simmer millet, so that all the oil in the millet can float to the surface of the pot, without this step, how long do you boil, and the millet porridge will not have oil!
