👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the millet flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to lightly toast the flour.
4
Gradually whisk in the water, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency.
6
Add the chopped wild spinach to the porridge. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.
7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
