How To Make Rice Wine
Ingredients
- Rice½ cups
- Shaoxing wine¼ tsp
- Distilled water3 tbsp
- Egg3
- Sugarto taste
Instructions
- Put the glutinous rice and water in a jar, stir, pour out the water, and repeat a few times. Drain thoroughly.
- Add 3/4 cup of water and soak the rice for 1 hour. Leave at least half of the jar empty because the rice will expand.
- Steam the jar without its lid for 40 minutes, with the lid, a small bowl and a spoon in the steamer to sanitise them.
- Once steamed, leave the lid on and let everything cool completely, which takes a few hours.
- Dissolve the yeast in 3 tbsp distilled water in the sanitised bowl, using cooled boiled water if needed. Do not use hot water.
- Pour the yeast water into the rice, put on the lid, tighten it fully, then loosen it slightly to allow air exchange.
- Ferment for 2 to 3 days, depending on room temperature, until it becomes sweet rice wine.
