Longshan小米, a well-known specialty of Jinan, has been cherished for generations. Known for its golden hue and rich aroma, it's more than just rice—it’s a symbol of local culture. 🍚 To prepare this delicious grain at home, start by rinsing the小米 gently under cold water to remove any impurities. Then soak it for about 30 minutes to enhance its texture. While soaking, you can prepare your pot by adding an appropriate amount of water, typically a ratio of 1:15 (rice to water). Once the water is boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer slowly. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking! 🕒 After around 40 minutes, you’ll have perfectly cooked Longshan小米 with a soft yet chewy consistency. Its natural sweetness makes it perfect for breakfast or as a comforting side dish. Whether enjoyed plain or paired with dishes, this Jinan treasure brings warmth and nostalgia to every meal. 🏡💛
