Method

4 clear steps

1
Put 100 g millet in a bowl and rinse it once lightly, stirring by hand and pouring the water off. This only removes surface dust; do not scrub it, or you lose the millet oil.
2
Bring 2000 g water to a full boil in a pot.
3
When the water is boiling, add the millet and stir so it does not stick to the bottom. Keep on high heat for 6–10 minutes, stirring a few times.
4
Turn to medium-low heat and simmer 15–20 minutes with the lid slightly ajar, stirring a few more times so the bottom does not scorch.
