The most special way to eat millet in my hometown of Linzhou: make salty, fragrant, soft and glutinous millet thick rice.

In those unforgettable years, only the old, the weak and the sick could eat millet.

In my memory, I have eaten only a handful of times. I usually entertain relatives and friends, or if there are pregnant women in confinement at home, I will stew a pot of sweet and glutinous rice with thick rice.

Ingredients

1. The old woman (daddy's grandmother) is 87 years old this year, her teeth are pretty good, and she often plays mahjong.

The grandmother insisted on using the oldest cooking method we have here, using her own "earth pot bottom" to cook. She said that the thick rice rice produced by this method is more fragrant and soft.

3. After the water is boiled, put the millet and soybeans first. Soak the soybeans in advance. The ratio of water to millet is about 4 to 1.

(It is best not to wash the millet, so that the millet is more sticky and retains more nutrients. In fact, it is harmless to eat some dust^-^)

Millet thick rice is soft and waxy, suitable for the elderly and pregnant women in confinement.

It's very fun to watch the old lady eat it^-^

Tips:

1. Millet: Water=1:4 or so;
2. Soybeans, peanuts and other beans should be soaked half a day in advance;
(The carotenoids in millet can be converted into vitamin A and the isoflavones in soybeans to protect the eyes and moisturize the skin)
3. The water in the pot should be boiled before adding the millet, so that the millet does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
4. The control of the heat is the key: the high heat must be brought to a boil first, and then the heat must be turned to a lower heat and simmered. If the fire is too high, the simmering process is very easy to stick to the pot.
5. Millet is also suitable to be made with potato shreds, pumpkin shreds, etc. There are no taboos, it is simply versatile, hahaha
