here’s how to make perfect buckweed every time first use one to 1.5 buckweed to water ratio excuse me honey I’m using two of these cups so I’m going to use three cups of water you can wash it if you want usually I don’t find it necessary but it’s your choice are you going to disturb me the whole time I usually find a one to two ratio adds too much water and that’s what ruins the buckweed and makes it soggy now start cooking it at High heat with a covered lid when it starts boiling set a timer to 10 minutes and reduce the heat to simmer and instead of waiting to spend time playing with your cap once it’s done set again to 10 minutes and let it steam with the lid on do not touch it even if it’s so tempting

The main principle is to keep the ratio 1:1.5 buckwheat to water (2 cups of buckwheat and 3 cups of water). I find that 1:2 ratio makes the buckwheat too wet and mushy.
Method:
1. Add the buckwheat and water into a bowl.
2. Cover it with a lid and bring it to boil.
3. Once it’s boiling, reduce the temperature to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes, take it off the heat and let it sit and steam for another 10 minutes with the lid on. Enjoy!
How does buckwheat taste?
Your cat is so cute
Instructions unclear, my cat turned into buckwheat
Started watching for the buckwheat, stayed for the cat
I got an easier one for you.
Equal volume, separately heated: boil water, heat grain on cast iron (should be ripping hot by end). Carefully introduce grain into water once the water is boiling, turn off heat, cover, let steam for 10-15 min. Voilà, perfect. Optionally add butter mid-steaming.
Wait THATS the translation for grikiai!?!?!?!?!?!?
You should be a model and love your witty sense of humour😄✌🏾✌🏾
Dependong on where you are, double check the type of buckwheat you are buying! In Canada, standard buckwheat can be the porridge kind, and you have to look for the toasted kind from Eastern Europe specially. Its easier now than it used to be, but its still not the 'default'.
I LOVE THAT CAT SO MUCH
For me the best way is to put in a microwave for 12-15 minutes. One cup of buckwheat and 1,5 cup of boiling water. And add butter after it’s done of course. Easy, quick and delicious
Do not use plastic things to cook. Use steal, glas, porcelaine, wood and so on…. Please any plastic, it is unhealthy.
I add 2x water and even leave some of it. I like when my buckwheat is wet
Buckwheat For the Win!
SO healthy and tasty.
How long does cooked buckwheat last in the fridge?
My Latvian mum made me eat that almost every morning. Now, I cook it at least twice a month ❤
Nasty 🤮
Do you use plain buckwheat pr pre-roasred one or do you roast it yourself?
"Do not touch it" felt personal 😅😂
Marry me
I only had Buckwheat one time. A Ukrainian friend made it. I remember it being good. Now I probably had buckwheat pancakes as I recall my dad wanting them.
Thanks for the instructions.
I just thought, add some beef breakfast sausage, it probably can spice it up some.

Hi! Russian immigrant tip😂 Just pour boiling water to cover up all buckwheat- cover with smth and leave it overnight! Love to have this buckwheat next morning with some milk) Welcome ❤
It's funny to me how people from us treat is as alternative and exotic when to slavic people it's just most normal thing ever
No cat on the counter, especially not for a cooking show. Just no.
Literally, don't wash the buckwheat, don't wash anything!
But do read about food preparation vs. bacteria. Taxisplasmosis.
Love it with fried onions and black pepper! Love your cat too. I've rescued 4 cats — 2 B&W and 2 Black. ❤️
My dear, you should be a model, you're gorgeous! ❤
You actually correct😮 this is how it's should be cooked
