Rice wine, also known as mash grains, wine brewing. The main raw material is glutinous rice.

Mash is rich in nutrients, has the effect of warming the stomach and invigorating blood, can promote blood circulation, and thus has the effect of beauty and beauty.

There are several ways to eat mash:

It can be drunk with water alone, can be combined with eggs to make egg tea, or can be boiled with mash to make it more delicious!

Today I have made the mash first, and tomorrow I will share with you the method of mash taro balls.

Preparation of rice wine (mash).

1. 500 grams of glutinous rice are washed first, and then soaked in water overnight (this time it was soaked for about 10 hours). Soak until the glutinous rice crumbles with your hands (now that it's hot, you can put it in the refrigerator).

2. Lay gauze on the drawer of the steamer, then put the soaked glutinous rice in, and poke a few small pits with your fingers to facilitate ripening.

Cook in cold water, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. When the pan is steamed, reduce the heat slightly and steam for 40 minutes.

3. Take out the steamed glutinous rice and put it in a basin

Sprinkle with a little cool boiled water and sprinkle (or stir with chopsticks).

Take 1 gram of koji, melt it with cool boiled water, and when the glutinous rice is warm, sprinkle it in and grasp it well.

4. Take a water-free, oil-free, sealable clean container, put the processed glutinous rice into it and smooth it; Use chopsticks to insert a small eye in the middle (to make it easier to observe the sake being served).

5. Seal the container, wrap it in clothes or sheets and other things in this hot season, so that it always maintains a temperature of about 35 °C; Let stand for 24~36 hours (one to one and a half days, the length of this time depends on the actual temperature).

If you see that the little eyes that you poked before are full of wine, you can do it, and you succeed.

Note: It took me a day and a half (36 hours) this time.

6. Sealed and refrigerated storage, take as you eat.
