Fermented Glutinous Rice
1.
Wash half a catty of rice, and add water to the basin overnight.
2.
Get up early the next day, boil a small pot of boiling water, open the lid to let cool, and set aside. Take a look at Jiang Mi, it can be easily crushed, and Jiang Mi will be soaked.
3.
Spread the soaked glutinous rice on a clean cloth. To make the glutinous rice more thorough, insert some vent holes with chopsticks and boil the water for 25 minutes.
4.
This is cooked rice that has been steamed and translucent.
5.
Put the steamed glutinous rice into a clean container without water and oil. Use your hands with clean and non-raw water to disperse it. Let it cool. Do not touch your hands. Warm it up. Too hot will scald the koji to death and fail. Don’t be too cold. Up. It is enough to melt the koji while cooling the rice.
6.
This is the 8-gram Angie Sweet Liquor I bought from Taobao.
7.
For half a catty of rice, I used 1 gram of koji and put it in a clean, water- and oil-free bowl.
8.
Add a bowl of cold boiled water to melt the koji. Now I have a little bit of water in this picture, but I added some later, and together there is such a small bowl of boiled water.
9.
Pour the melted distiller's koji water into the warm dried glutinous rice, break the glutinous rice again with your hands, don’t have the sticky rice, make sure that each grain of rice is covered with the distiller’s koji water, and beat it with your hands The scattered rice is compacted, and a small hole is punched in the middle to make it easier to see the drinks.
10.
After pressing, cover with plastic wrap and seal.
11.
I put a lid on the glass bowl again, and covered it with a quilt to keep it warm, the temperature is high, and the fermentation will be faster. The room temperature in my house is now 25 degrees, so I still covered it with the quilt. On the first day, I opened the cover and looked through the plastic wrap. There was not much change. My heart was still beating. Although failure is the mother of success, I am still afraid of failure! I went to see again the next day. There was a little bit of water from the bottom of the bowl, but I still didn’t know what to do. I was still scared, afraid that I would not be able to drink, or the rice would be broken. I was entangled. It's a failure, don't regret it, just take it as a study!
12.
This is the third day of fermenting glutinous rice, and I have forgotten it a bit. After dinner, I suddenly thought of this baby of mine, after finishing packing, hurry up to see it, ah! It's a success, the wine is out. When I opened the lid, although it was sealed with plastic wrap, there was still a sweet smell of wine coming out, hahaha, I am so happy, the temperature in my house is not too hot, I didn't put it in the refrigerator, and continued to ferment for the whole night, trying to get more alcohol. I can drink the glutinous egg soup tomorrow morning. When I get up early, I will put it in the refrigerator and stop the fermentation. If it is left outside, it will continue to ferment and the rice will not be so sweet! Hee hee (*¯︶¯*), the remaining half a catty of rice will be made next time, and there will be no need to go to the supermarket to buy ready-made glutinous rice wine, oh~Yeah~
