Do you love simple yet comforting meals? Here's a quick and easy way to make Xiaomi Rice Gruel! 😋 This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. All you need are some basic ingredients like小米 (xiao mi), water, and maybe a pinch of salt.
Start by rinsing the小米 under cold water until it runs clear. This step ensures your gruel will be extra clean and smooth. Drain the water completely and add the小米 to a pot with fresh water. The ratio is usually 1 part小米 to about 8 parts water, but feel free to adjust based on how thick or thin you like it. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While it cooks, you can customize your gruel with toppings like a drizzle of soy sauce 🥣 or a sprinkle of green onions. Once it reaches your desired consistency, turn off the heat and serve hot. It’s so versatile—you can enjoy it plain or pair it with your favorite side dishes. A warm bowl of Xiaomi Rice Gruel is not just filling; it’s also soothing for both body and soul. 💖
