🌾Cooking Millets: Barnyard Millet & Non-glutinous Foxtail Millet Edition

They say barnyard millet is the best among all millets for warming the body. Barnyard millet (hie)? Cold (hie)? But it warms you? Haha.
It's like a joke...
The Japanese language is truly profound and beautiful.
Every single hiragana character has a meaning.

Cold (hi)
Ice (hi)
Fire (hi)
Sun/Yang (hi)
Day/Sun (hi)
Spirit/Soul (hi)

It seems ancient Japanese people didn't use the sound 'hi' just for cold things, but as a sound to represent 'temperature.' The ancient people who created the Japanese language are amazing, but it feels like a miracle that we are still using almost the same Japanese today.
I want to cherish language.

〚Ingredients〛(Yield: approx. 360g)
Barnyard millet/Non-glutinous foxtail millet 1 cup → Wash and drain in a sieve
Water 1 and 4/5 cups
Natural salt 1/4 teaspoon

〚Instructions〛
① Put the measured water in a pot, bring to a boil, then add the salt and millet
　and cook over high heat while stirring well with a wooden spatula.
② When most of the water has been absorbed by the millet and you can see
　the trail of the spatula, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
③ Once cooked, remove from heat, let steam for 10 minutes, and fluff
　with a wooden spatula to let the air in.

❖ Barnyard millet and non-glutinous foxtail millet
　can be cooked using the same amounts and the same method.
