Millet & Rice Congee (二米粥)

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup (120 grams) millet and 1/2 cup (120 grams) rice OR 1 cup Golden Harmony Congee Blend

10 cups (2 liters) water

Directions

1. Rinse millet and rice a few times with filtered water and drain.

2. Add water to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil.

3. Slowly add millet and rice to the pot.

4. Continue cooking until the water returns to a boil. Turn to low heat. Use a ladle to skim the foam from the surface, so the porridge won’t spill during cooking.

5. Cook while keeping the congee boiling, but not too fiercely, for 30 minutes. Stir the congee several times after 20 minutes, so the millet and rice won’t stick to the bottom of the pot.

6. If you want a thicker congee, keep cooking after 30 minutes are up, and stir the congee constantly as it thickens, about 10 minutes.

7. The congee is ready when the millet and rice are tender but still keeps its shape.
