Today we are cooking mile rice! Mile is an excellent alternative to white rice and this recipe merges the fragrant jasmine rice with healthy mile for a way adaptable and accessible to introduce more whole grains in your diet.
You have all had such a positive reaction to our quinoa rice recipe and we know you will love this too.
Millet, a Powerhouse white rice alternative!
In these days, we always look for white rice alternatives. Considering the fact that none of us is more spring hens, we have obtained health more conscious and we always try to incorporate more whole cereals into our diet, whether it is quinoa for multiple fiber and proteins, black rice for antioxidants or now mile!
The mile is gluten -free, rich in fiber and has a lower glycemic index than rice, which means it does not increase blood sugar so much. It also has more rice proteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as niacin, folate, iron and magnesium.
A little -known Chinese food
In reality we have ate millet for years. It was presented to us when some of us (Uh … all except me) moved temporarily to China, where it was very easy to find in grocery stores.
Watch my mother’s Porridge recipe (Xi zhōu小米粥), which is a surprisingly satisfactory substitute for the rice fan. It is super cheap and nourishing, and since it is rich in fiber, it helps you feel faster and longer!
Now it is easier to get a rainbow of healthy cereals in the grocery store, but fun, China is where we have done most of our Multigrain experimentation!
But of course, when it comes to enjoying and consistency, it is difficult to separate many Chinese people from their white rice, therefore this recipe for hybrid rice to mile. It is a great way to introduce this new wheat into the diet of anyone who can be a little hesitant to embrace the alternatives of white rice. ½ cup of mile with 1 cup of jasmine rice creates a soft and balanced mixture that you can feel better!
It is worth remembering that there are many types of mile, including mile of pearls, mile to furnish and mile for the fingers. We are using the mile of Foxtail, which is a small round yellow seed more commonly seen in Chinese cuisine.
Instructions for Miglio Rice Recipes
To make about 4 1/2 Improved rice cups, you will need:
- ½ cup of mile
- 1 cup of jasmine rice
- 1½ cups of water
Note that these are standard US cups! A cup of rice pot is actually equivalent to us ¾ cup (we talk more about it This video), then use the normal measurement cups here.
Add the cereals to the rice pot pot and cover with water.
Shake the cereals with your hands. Pour the excess water, as much as possible without losing cereals. A little residual water is fine.
Add 1½ cups of cooking water, put the pot in the rice pot and press the button.
At the end, let the rice improve the steam on the “keep warm” approach for another 10-15 minutes. If you are in a hurry, this is not strictly necessary, but it offers a softer result. Before serving, launches the mile rice with a shovel and is ready to be served!
Note: If you do not have a rice pot, dip rice and mile in a medium/small pot (we use a 3 qt pot). Cover the cereals with 1 inch of water. Immerse for 20 minutes. Shake the cereals to release any excess starch, then drain the water. If a little water is left behind in the pot, it is fine (there is no need to strain the cereals through a fine knitted sieve). Add 1 range cup of water. Cover, bring to low boiling and immediately reduce the lowest setting. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat and launch the mile rice with a fork or rice scoop.

In short, yes, depending on the size of the rice pot you use! Just make sure that the quantity adapts to the capacity of the rice pot, taking into account again that 1 cup of standard rice pot is ¾ cup.
I discovered that my rice cuisine has difficulty cooking rice evenly to the higher limits of its ability. You will be happy to know that in a panic of the last minute dinner, putting a wire of water in a secure microwave bowl with a little cooked rice, covering it with a safe microwave dish and sautéed it for 3½ minutes saved him.
