Polenta?

No, the yellow thing is not polenta but millet 小米.  Before rice became the main grain in China, millet was the thing.  Now, it is still very popular in Northern China.  The Chinese communist say they won the revolution with just millet and rifles.  Personally, I like it because it is refreshing and tasty.  Usually it is eaten as a porridge, a congee, but here I make it much thicker so it looks like polenta or couscous.  It eats a little like couscous too, like couscous with fibre.
