Worked out well. Cooked a savory version with garlic, ginger, dried shiitake, carrot, and sweet potato. Thanks!

In reply to Eyli. I'd say about a three-finger pinch (about a tbsp) for one serving!

Thx for the recipe. How many goji berries would you toss in for the 1 serving?

I’ve made this congee so many times now and love it! Usually I make it savory and add some julienned ginger to the congee and when it’s finished cooking I add some chopped greens in and top with an egg. Sometimes I add a couple chicken thighs or tofu with dried wood ear mushrooms. So easy and quick to prepare!

Just want to ask for the Instant Pot manual setting, is it on high or low pressure?

In reply to Hannah.

Just to clarify, millet is a grass like wheat, sorghum, corn, and rice. It’s in the Poaceae family (source, wikipedia). Quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat are definitely psuedo-grains because they are not in the Poaceae family. If you google image search “millet plant” versus quinoa/amaranth/buckwheat plant, you’ll see that millet looks has thin-bladed, grass-like leaves, whereas the latter are broad-leafed and a bit bushy.

There are many species of millet. In Northern China, millet was the first domesticated crop, and wheat came along later.

In reply to bernie. Some seeds like quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat are not defined as grains though (they're psuedo-grains), so the description is just to clarify that millet is, indeed, a grain. Will edit to make it clearer. Thanks for the comment!
