The ingredients needed to make Basic Jiuniang (Rice Wine) 甜酒酿:
  1. Take 4 +1/4 cups sweet white rice (1000g)
  2. Get 2 1/2 cups room temperature water (after boiling)

Chinese people loves to use fermentation starter to make fermented food with unique flavors including famous fermented black beans (dou-chi), Szechuan pickled vegetables (酸菜), doubanjiang, soy sauce and sweet bean sauce (甜面酱). This fermented sticky rice is known as Jiu Niang (酒酿) in Chinese. Rice wine is somewhat clear and sweet and is used in marinades to tenderize meat and seafood, as well as to impart flavor to food. Unfortunately, while rice wine is readily available at Chinese and Asian groceries, it is not always easy to find at regular local supermarkets.

Instructions to make Basic Jiuniang (Rice Wine) 甜酒酿:
  1. Make sure all tools that in contact with rice wine making are extremely clean(absolutely free from oil contamination).
  2. Rinse sweet white rice 3 times and soak a few hours (minimal 2 hrs). Discard soaking water and add 2 cups of water after soaking and cook in a rice cooker.
  3. Once rice is done cooking in the rice cooker, take the insert pot out and fluff the rice allow it to cool down to room temperature. In the meantime, use 1 cup of boiling water to brew 1 Tsp of sweet osmanthus flower for flavor and aroma enhancement. Allow the sweet osmanthus infused water (remove flower using with a metal mesh or cheesecloth) to cool down to room temperature.
  4. Add sweet osmanthus water and 1.5 cups of water into the rice pot and stir to mix well. Add half pack of angel rice leven yeast 4g and stir to incorporate well.
  5. Transfer all the mixture into a very clean fermenting vessel. I use a Korean earthware for this job and it doesn't have to seal well because in the early stage of wine making, oxygen is necessary for fermentation.
  6. Temperature is the key. Ideally, keep your wine jug in a temperature anywhere between 80-90F. Taste every 12 hours and decide when you want to slow down the fermentation by transferring it to a fridge. I typically wait 24 hours before transferring it into a fridge.
