Fermented rice is an Asian snack that has a sweet taste with a hint of alcohol flavoring. It is rich in B vitamins and can help people with gastric and intestinal disorders by restoring healthy intestinal flora. Preparing fermented rice requires little work but takes a good deal of time as the rice needs to sit as it ferments. With a few simple preparations, you will be enjoying this delicious and healthy snack. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Cover the rice with water and let soak in a bowl overnight.
2. Drain the rice and steam in a rice cooker. Add 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice you plan to steam.
3. Grind up the distiller's yeast with the mortar and pestle. Grind up one ball of yeast for every 2 cups of cooked rice.
4. Transfer rice to a clean bowl from cooker when finished. Allow rice to cool so it's room temperature.
5. Add most of the yeast powder into the rice and mix it. Flatten down the rice with your palm and create a hole in the center. Sprinkle remaining yeast on top of the flattened rice.
6. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Allow it to sit someplace warm, such as an unlit oven, for two days. Serve with honey or eat as is.
