<AMAZAKE/ 甘酒>

▶vegan

＜Yield> 5 servings

<Prep time> 5 minutes

<Cook time> 40 minutes (not including fermentation time)

<Ingredients>

720ml water, divided

200g Koji

150g Japanese sushi rice

<Directions>

1. Rinse the rice a couple times and drain the water. Into a rice cooker add in the rinsed rice and 360ml water. Start cooking on a regular mode.

2. Once the rice is cooked you should see that the rice is quite mushy and sticky (porridge-like consistency). Add in 360ml water until the temperature drop down to 60℃/140℉. If the temperature is higher than 60℃, the koji (rice malt) will be destroyed.

3. After ensuring that the temperature has dropped to 60℃/140℉, add koji then mix. Set the rice cooker to a warming mode and leave the lid open. Cover the rice cooker with a wet cloth to keep the temperature around 60℃/140℉. Let it ferment for 8 hours. Make sure to mix the rice mixture every 2 hours and ensure that the cloth stays moist.

4. After 8 hours of fermentation, you will smell the sweet scent of Koji. Now it's ready to be enjoyed.
