Hie Zoushi / Hie Gayu ｜ Our Regional Cuisines

1. Wash the foxtail millet rice (polished foxtail millet) lightly to remove husk particles.

2. Sauté the bite-sized pieces of wild boar meat in oil until browned. Add foxtail millet to the prepared wild boar broth, simmer gently for about 2 hours on low heat while skimming off any impurities. Salt is the recommended seasoning.

3. Once the wild boar meat is cooked, add rice and water, then simmer. Add chopped asatsuki or other greens of your choice towards the end. While higher heat speeds up the cooking process, it might not yield the unique texture, so be cautious.

4. When it boils, add cleaned foxtail millet and gently cook over medium heat, stirring, until the millet softens (this may take about 2 hours). You can add more water during this process.

5. Adjust the flavor with salt once cooked. Scatter chopped asatsuki leaves during the last step.
