Ingredients

  • ½ cup millet
  • 1 cup kabocha squash, pumpkin, or sweet potato optional
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  • Place the millet in a large bowl and rinse it with water 2-3 times (until the water runs almost clear). Drain the water and set it aside.
  • Peel and cut the squash into a small dice. You can do big pieces, but smaller pieces mix more beautifully into the porridge.
  • Bring the water to a boil. Then add in the millet and the squash. Stir and let it come back up to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Stir the pot often to make sure the millet and squash doesn't get stuck to the bottom of the pot. Use a ladle to skim off any foam from the top.
  • The porridge is finished once the millet and squash is tender. Try a spoonful to taste! Turn off the heat, spoon the porridge into individual bowls, and serve warm. Enjoy ^_^
