It’s wrong. You need to rinse it a few times in water so that mullet isn’t bitter

This is not a fish though, this is Millet. A mullet swims, sometimes on the back of peoples necks.

I believe that’s quinoa, not millet

For me water is getting evaporated. when i add more water it becomes mushy ..How to cook millet so that each grain seperates??

[@darlenelibbi1030]

Same problem. Tried with rice cooker got lumpy. I was thinking of toasting it first?

[@zipzap570]

I soaked it overnight. Cooked in pressure cooker. It was great

[@atypical7593]

add a bit of oil

[@fabiobrondi8199]

Just follow the recipe. Water to grain is 1:1. Start with cold water. After it boils and you remove the foam at the top, cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid to allow moisture to leave the pot for a couple of hours. Then you have a nice pot of millet where the grains separate. This is cold, but tasty.

For me it has helped to boil the millet a little longer before putting on a low heat. Figuring out just how long to boil the millet is part of the trick and the other part is how much water or liquid to add in the beginning. When the millet has been soaked it seems to me that about 2 1/4 cups water per cup of soaked-and-drained millet works pretty well, but I have not yet gotten to where you are talking about -- where the grains separate and it is nice and fluffy. Next I am going to try the slow cooker and cooking it overnight at a low heat. This is a big deal to me, because I am pretty much replacing brown rice with millet. I love brown rice, but millet is not only less expensive but is wonderfully alkaline and (it seems to me) a perfect substitute for brown rice.

Rice and millets always need to be washed before cooking...take care when you cook it next time.

[@luciansanchez8100]

I found this video helpful... I'm going to make this recipe now... with one additional ingredient... edemame beans :)

[@Minimalistbaker]

Yum! We'd love to hear how it goes!

[@irinadalah9089]

and how long do I "simmer and cover"? or "cover and rest"? really unclear instructions.

[@emcarver8983]

Completely wrong. The single most important step you missed out. It must be washed 7 or 8 times until the water runs clear. Then soak it overnight for breakfast, or during the day if it's for dinner.

[@Minimalistbaker]

Hmm, we haven't found it necessary to soak it!

[@Pupil187fsg]

You can buy presprouted (soaked).

[@emcarver8983]

@@Minimalistbaker Have a read up. It is important. It's like lentils. Just because they're easy to cook, people don't bother rinsing and soaking. But there is a price to pay.

[@kellyb8237]

U.S. and Canada crop do not need to rinse to death. I once bought China crop. Omg... 2 hours of rinsing, soaking just to get rid of the yellow color water. Needless to say , I returned the 3 packages. Don't know if the crop is like that or farmer playing with food.

[@emcarver8983]

@@kellyb8237 fair point. But he didn't say he was using Canadian beans. The rule should apply if you don't know the origins of the product
