How to make pearl yellow millet

millet pumpkin and red date Congee

Materials

75g millet, 15g glutinous rice, 6 red dates, 200g pumpkin

Methods

1. Prepare raw materials, cut red dates into small pieces with scissors, and discard the date stones

2. Cut off the outer skin of the pumpkin (the skin should be slightly thicker), steam it with heat-insulating water until it is cooked

3. Grind into pumpkin puree

4. Soak millet, glutinous rice, and sufficient water in the pot for 15 minutes (add enough water at once), cover and cook<5. After the water boils, open the lid and add red dates

6. Close the lid again and place a spoon in the pot to separate the pot from the lid, leaving some space (to prevent the soup from overflowing). Turn it on and continue boiling over high heat

7. Stir with a spoon every few minutes to prevent the bottom of the pot from sticking. When the Congee is thin and thick enough for your own taste, add pumpkin puree (the consistency of Congee depends on your taste)

8. Spoon the pumpkin mud into the Congee slowly

9. Turn off the fire until pumpkin puree is completely integrated into millet congee and Congee paste appears on the surface

How to distinguish between genuine and fake pearl yellow millet

Xiaomi's selection

1. High quality Xiaomi rice grains have uniform size and color, appearing milky white, yellow or golden yellow, with luster, rarely broken rice, no insects, and no impurities. Take a small amount of millet to be tested and place it on a soft white paper. Use your mouth to moisten it, then twist and rub the millet several times with the paper to observe if there is a slight yellow color on the paper. If there is yellow, it indicates that there is yellow pigment in the millet to be tested. In addition, a small amount of sample can be moistened with water and the color change of the water can be observed. If there is a slight yellow color, it indicates the presence of yellow pigment

2. High quality Xiaomi has a fragrant aroma and no other odors. Severely spoiled millet easily turns into powder when twisted by hand, with a lot of broken rice and a slight moldy, sour, rotten or other abnormal odor when smelled

3. High quality Xiaomi tastes great, slightly sweet, and has no peculiar odor. Poor quality millet tastes tasteless, with slight bitterness, astringency, and other unpleasant flavors
