Hi Lily,
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just bought a pack of wheat and ready to make this.
But I realised that you also use oats - may I ask what is the purpose of the oats?
Thanks

the oats give the chook a better texture.
how long does it take to cook it to tender and swelling?

it takes a little less than half an hour with the pressure cooker, but on the stove it might take longer. cooking time often depends on the heat of your stove, since you have to stir to prevent burning the bottom, check for doneness as you go along
