1.Wash the rice. Then put 180ml of water in the rice cooker and cook.
2.Add 180 ml of water to the cooked rice and stir.
3.Add Malted rice and mix.
Keep the temperature below 70 degrees Celsius. Because the optimum temperature for making Amazake is about 60 degrees Celsius.
4.Fourth、Cover the rice cooker with a cloth that has been moistened with water and squeezed.
5.Fifth, keep warm for 5 hours with the bass setting. At this time, do not close the rice cooker lid. Because it is important not to exceed 70 degrees. If the heat retention temperature is too high it will fail.
6.Sixth, stir twice with a clean metal spoon while keeping warm.
Because using a wooden spatula makes it easier for germs to enter.
And that's it! How easy is that? Please give it a taste.
If it's very sweet, your Amazake is successfully done!
Place it in a jar with a lid that has been boiled to sterilize, and store in the refrigerator. Please eat it within about 10 days.
