Black Rice Glutinous Rice
1.
Soak the black rice in cold water for a day, soak until the rice can be crushed by hand
2.
I also soaked glutinous rice and steamed the soaked rice for 1 hour
3.
I added one-fifth of the white glutinous rice to the steamed black rice, so that the fermentation effect will be better. If the black rice is very sticky, you can use black rice instead of white glutinous rice.
4.
Let the rice cool to a slightly warm state, add a little bit of cold water to break up the rice. Don’t have too much water, just loosen the rice just enough to prevent it from forming a ball, and don’t have excess water, then pour in the rice koji and mix evenly
5.
Compact the mixed rice with chopsticks, and then shake a hole in the middle with the chopsticks. This is called a nest.
6.
Sprinkle a little more rice koji on the surface and in the nest
7.
Finally, pour a little bit of cold water into the nest, the amount of water is 8-9 parts full into the nest
8.
Then cover the lid, keep warm at about 30 degrees (2 degrees up and down is best), and then keep warm and ferment for about 24 hours
9.
This is what it looks like after a day of fermentation, and the wine is already out
10.
It can be seen from the side that the rice has been floating in a cluster
11.
Continued to ferment for more than ten hours, the wine is more, and the rice is pressed down to see more clearly
12.
Looking at it from the side, the rice floats closer, and there is more wine. The mash at this time is sweet and tastes great. Eat and drink directly, or boil eggs, make noodles, etc., whatever you eat is delicious
Tips:
1. Fermented glutinous rice must ensure that the utensils and containers are oil-free, and the fermented containers, including chopsticks, must be boiled and disinfected in advance with boiling water to avoid infection by bacteria.
2. The freshly fermented mash is slightly sweet, but if it is left at room temperature, it will continue to ferment. The taste of the wine will become stronger and stronger, and it will even become sour. Therefore, the fermented mash is best stored in the refrigerator, and the low temperature slows down and continues to ferment. process.
