Have you ever tried making traditional Xiaomi porridge? It’s simple yet comforting! First, rinse the小米 (xiaomi) thoroughly until the water runs clear. Drain and soak it for about 30 minutes to make the grains softer. Then, in a pot, add the soaked小米and enough cold water—about 8 parts water to 1 part小米is a good ratio. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. While cooking, you can add a pinch of salt for extra flavor or some goji berries for added nutrition. The key is patience; let it cook slowly for around 40-50 minutes until the小米 bursts open and the porridge becomes creamy. Serve hot with a sprinkle of green onions or sesame seeds if you like. This humble dish is perfect for breakfast or as a soothing snack anytime! 🍲✨
