1. Can millet be steamed into rice?

Some people may think that millet can be steamed into rice. There will be questions. Actually, millet can be steamed into rice. However, if millet is steamed into rice alone, there will be some defects. Compared with the rice steamed from rice, the rice steamed separately will be a little sticky, and there will be no clear lines like rice.

When we steam millet, in order to make it less sticky, we can wash it with clean water first, and then add a proper amount of water. Finally, we can use a rice cooker or pressure cooker to heat and steam it into rice. Usually when we steam rice at home, we usually use white rice, and yellow rice is mainly used to cook porridge for breakfast, not dinner. Because the yellow rice is too small, we need a lot when steaming rice. Moreover, millet is not as easy to fill the stomach as rice, the planting conditions are not as simple as rice, and the survival rate is not as high as rice. So people usually grow rice, with rice as the staple food and millet as the non-staple food. Of course, if we mix millet and rice when cooking, the nutritional value will be higher and the taste will be better. Rice steamed from millet and rice is also called "Fan Er". Eating rice noodles is very beneficial to human health. Compared with ordinary rice, japonica rice can promote the absorption rate of protein, and millet can nourish the stomach. Its nutritional value in protein is far lower than that of rice. Rice milling can complement each other to the greatest extent. Another advantage of rice milling is that it can prevent millet from sticking to the pot when steaming alone.
