Going Beyond Shio Koji! Soy Sauce Koji

I have made shio-koji twice before, but this time I wanted to try making the rice malt with soy sauce as in the title of this recipe. I tried it out and it was a success.

In general, the amount of soy sauce used should be the same as the rice koji. I added in most of the soy sauce on the first day, and added in the remaining portion the next day. I think the number of days it takes to ferment depends on the climate, so I just gave a ballpark figure... Recipe by Guutara recipe kenkyujo

Ingredients

  1. 500 gramsRice koji (dried)
  2. 450 mlSoy sauce
  3. 50 mlSoy Sauce (for the 2nd day)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    This dried koji was bought at a Japanese supermarket overseas. It's labeled as "KOJI" in English and is made in California.

  2. 2

    Sterilize the container you'll use with hot water just in case. Place the dried rice malt into the container to make the salted rice malt.

  3. 3

    This is the 450 ml of soy sauce used the first day.

  4. 4

    Pour the soy sauce and mix together.

  5. 5

    Cover the container with plastic wrap, and then cover with a lid. I forgot to take a picture of it covered with a lid.

  6. 6

    Add 50 ml of soy sauce on the second day, and mix to incorporate air into the mixture.

  7. 7

    Mix daily so that it airs out; It will take about 10 days to 2 weeks to thicken. It is done once you can smash the rice grains between your fingers.

  8. 8

    In order to easily preserve this, you can transfer it to a clean jar. Do not forget to sterilize the jar with boiling water just in case. It will keep for about 3 months in the refrigerator.
