Ingredients
- 1 cup millet
- 2 cups sweet potato peeled and chopped into chunks
- 4 dates
- 10 cups of water
Instructions
- Rinse the millet under the running water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then slowly pour the rinsed millet and sweet potato chunks into the pot. Gently stir to blend well.
- Continue boiling until the water returns to boil again. Skim the foam from the top. (optional) Stir often so the food doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Turn the heat down to low heat, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes until a softer texture reaches your desired consistency.
- Turn off the heat, and serve warm in a small bowl with side dishes. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook a little longer. If you prefer a more liquid texture, reduce the cooking time.
- You can also cook millet porridge in the rice cooker or instant pot. Cooking time may vary; please check the manual for details before use.
