Japanese Tabbouleh with Mixed Grains

I had a lot of millet which was originally for cooking with rice. I cooked the millet and I thought it looked just like cous cous. I made a marinade and checked the taste. When marinated, it was exactly like tabbouleh! The salad is very tasty already with lemon juice and olive oil, but I added a little soy sauce.

Cooking time of mixed grains: Kibi-mochi for 5 minutes, amaranth for 8 minutes and quinoa for 10 minutes. You can freeze the leftovers. Check the taste before serving. Adjust with herb salt or plain salt. If you don't have a cake ring, put the salad in a small bowl. Recipe by kebeibiko
