How to make Foxtail Millet Salad?

- Cover the pan and allow the millets to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until all the water is absorbed and the millets are cooked. You can also cook the millets in the pressure cooker to speed up the cooking process. The millet should be grainy at the end of the cooking process.
