Instructions
- Rinse the millets until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

- Transfer to a fine meshed sieve, rinse under tap water to wash off the starch, drain and spread out on a plate to cool off.
- In the same pan, heat some oil and sauté the grated ginger and garlic until fragrant and golden brown. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, peas and carrots and stir-fry on medium-high heat until the vegetables are cooked, yet crunchy.
- Season with the sambal oelek, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
- Finally, add the cooked millets and stir until incorporated.
