Homemade fermented glutinous rice (fermented rice wine)
Overview
Effects of glutinous rice wine: 1. The nutritional content of glutinous rice wine is similar to that of rice wine, but the ethanol content is low. However, the calories it can provide to the human body are many times higher than those of beer and wine; 2. Fermented glutinous rice contains more than ten kinds of amino acids, 8 of which cannot be synthesized by the human body but are necessary. The lysine content per liter of rice wine is several times higher than that of wine and beer, which is rare among other nutritious wines in the world, so people call it liquid cake; 3. After fermentation, the nutrients are easier to absorb by the human body.

Ingredients
Steps
-
First, wash the container for soaking rice and make sure there is no oil. Wash 500 grams of glutinous rice and soak in water for more than 10 hours. It can be placed in the refrigerator when the weather is hot.
-
When soaking rice, pay attention to the amount of water and make sure that the rice grains are soaked in water. When the glutinous rice swells, it will approximately double in size, so the container should be larger.
-
Soaked glutinous rice will break into pieces if you twist it with your fingers. Rinse the swollen glutinous rice without water.
-
The rice steaming basket and pot must be cleaned carefully and carefully to ensure there is no oil. Put the soaked glutinous rice on a steaming cloth, and use chopsticks to poke some ventilation holes on it.
-
Pour cold water into the pot and steam for half an hour after the water boils. If you make a large amount at one time, you can open the lid in the middle and sprinkle some boiling water on the rice. After steaming, take it out and put it in an oil-free and clean container. Cool the room to 30-40 degrees. Do not let it cool completely. This will make the fermented glutinous rice sweeter and more fragrant.
-
Angel Sweet Liquor Qu 3g. Take 2g of it and dissolve it with 400g of warm water at 30 degrees.
-
Wearing disposable gloves, stir 400g of melted koji water into the glutinous rice that has been dried to hand temperature.
-
Slightly press the rice grains with your hands, poke a cone-shaped pit in the center with your fingers, and sprinkle the remaining gram of koji evenly on the surface of the rice layer and around the pit.
-
Cover or wrap with plastic wrap. After 24 hours of fermentation in a 30-degree environment in summer, you can see liquid oozing out of the pit, and you can smell the aroma of fermented wine when you open the lid. In winter, wrap a small cotton quilt and place it near a heater.
-
The picture below is after 24 hours of fermentation. I opened the lid and took a look. There was a small amount of water leaking out of the pit, and it smelled of a refreshing fragrance. I picked up a grain of rice with chopsticks and tasted it. I found that it was not mellow. At this time, you can pour half a cup of cold boiled water with a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees or no water at all. Cover and continue fermentation.
-
After waiting for 12 hours, open the lid and you can smell the rich sweet flavor. The originally scattered rice grains turned into a lump, floating in the liquid, and the small pit was filled with clear wine. At this time, you can add cold boiled water and put it in the refrigerator to prevent it from fermenting and getting old.
-
Use a spoon to scoop out a piece. The rice grains are tightly stuck together and can be eaten raw.
-
You can also add water to dilute it, heat it and then add it to the egg liquid, or cook it with the glutinous rice balls.
-
If you make a lot at one time and want to save it, put it into a clean bottle. Do not tighten the lid completely, leave a little space for exhaust, and steam it in a steamer for 5-10 minutes. After turning off the heat, tighten the lid immediately and store at room temperature.
