In reply to Christina. I think proso millet would work in this recipe.

I accidentally bought proso millet from Bob’s Red Mill. Do you think it would still work in this recipe?

In reply to Naomi. If you cook this one in an Instant Pot, you should use 5 cups water instead, and pressure cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the texture you prefer (a thinner vs creamier texture).

This looks delicious, and I will try it eventually. However, I was looking for instant pot recipes. Do you have adaptations for this recipe for the instant pot? I got here from you regular instant pot congee recipe’s link.

In reply to Ivana. I didn't quite understand your question. Do you mean to cook the millet, but strain off the liquid and serve the millet as a side? If that is the case, I would cook the millet a bit shorter. This recipe is designed for making congee, so the long cooking time allows the millet to release starch and thicken the water. If you serve the millet separated, you probably want it a little firm, so it won't fall apart when you strain it. I would try cooking it for 20 minutes first, taste it, and see if it needs more time.

Hi! I plan to make this for my 1 year old’s parent child class. Question…do I make it the same way if I’m not putting any millet in? They are serving the millet and quinoa like rice style and I’m supposed to bring the side. I want to bring this as the “side” but not sure if I need to change recipe.

In reply to Bubba Kush. When cooking the congee I only use millet and water. It is usually served with other dishes on the side as a soup, or with some salty pickles. When I was growing up, I like to add sugar to the congee to make it a sweet soup.

This looks good. Do you use any seasoning? Just millet and water?

In reply to Doreen Coles. I used the millet grains (small round shape, looks a bit like quinoa) and I'm afraid I don't think the millet flour or the pulled one would work.

Do you use Millet Flour for this recipe? I have Millet Flour and also Puffed Millet.
