1. First of all, cooking millet porridge, new rice is definitely better than old rice. When we choose millet, we'd better choose new rice with uniform and shiny color and no broken rice. If you cook millet porridge with old rice, it will be very hard and thick, and it will not taste good.

2. After the millet is selected, it should be washed clean, and washing millet is also skillful. First of all, the technique must be light, don't rub it hard, because it will lose the nutrients in the millet. Stir it twice with chopsticks and pour out the dirty things floating on the water. Also, don't wash the millet too many times, just twice at most, because millet is generally not too dirty, and twice is enough to wash it.

3. Don't directly cook the washed millet. Add one more step-soaking. Soaking millet for about 2 minutes can make millet absorb enough water, which can not only shorten the cooking time, but also make it easier to boil flowers and make it sticky.

4. Soaked millet can be cooked in the pot. Remember to cook it in boiling water. The millet porridge cooked in boiling water is more viscous and delicious than that cooked in cold water.

5. After the millet is put into the pot, bring it to a boil. After boiling, quickly stir the millet in circles with a spoon for 1 seconds, then simmer for about half an hour. Turn off the fire and stew for a few minutes.
