Glutinous Rice Wine Makgoelli Recipe

糯米酒食谱

Ingredient A：

1kg Glutinous Rice 

660g Water 

Ingredient B：

3pcs Sweet wine yeast （Just tastes great）

1pc Spicy wine yeast

400g Filtered water （or boiled water; I am using Kangen pH9.5)

Ingredient C：

1 ltr Filtered water

200g Castor Sugar

Preparations：

1）Needless to pre-soak the rice, rinse 3 times，put ingredient A in electric rice cooker to cook. Do not have to fully cooked, hence only calls for 660g water in this recipe. 

2）Loosen cooked rice, and let it cool until temperature drops to 40°C.

3）Put ingredient B without water, grind only the yeast with 2 times x Turbo 2 seconds. Then Add 400g water to stir 

     2 min / 37°C / speed 3

4）When cooked rice reaches 40°C, pour mixture B into rice and mix evenly. Let it ferment 3 days.

After 3 days.

      *I don't really cook rice, I am using rice cooker for fermentation. 

5）After 3 days，add in ingredient C, stir and cover, you need to give it a stir every day for 20 days, that is why don't have to worry about the sugar if it is not melting thoroughly. Total fermenting duration is 30 days. 

6）Remember to jot down the date！After 30 days, the liquid appears to be clear golden in colour due to precipitated rice.

7）When time comes, using a filter bag to squeeze out milky rice wine, keep in a container. Allow to scope out clearer rice wine the next day. Repeat this procedure next couple of days in order to yearn a clear golden rice wine. 

8）I am the type of make-simple-person, I like to drink the rice wine as it is, like Korean Makgoelli, hence I will skip step 7, drink direct as it is. 

Rice wine after 30 days of fermentation.

Drink it with dinner.

Harvest three bottles of this, one bottle given to my brother.

Korean names for every part of Makgoelli.

米酒酿制

 看了许多食谱和视频，决定自己也来学习酿制糯米酒。尽量用最简单的方法，或者简易酿制的步骤。

Freshly Harvested

一些小知识：

两种酒饼，甜酒饼 和 辣酒饼

在中药商店购买酒饼

刚好的1公斤糯米

利用小美打磨酒饼，2秒 Turbo 两次

刚好的1公斤糯米

加入400克水，以40°C温度 速度3 搅拌 2 分钟。

糯米酒酿制小美食谱

Glutinous Rice Wine Recipe

材料A：

1KG 糯米 

660克 水 

材料B：

3粒 甜酒饼 （本人觉得刚好强劲的酒味）

1粒 辣酒饼

400克 滤水 （或作煮过后的水；本人使用Kangen pH9.5)

材料C：

1000克 滤水

200克 糖

做法：

1）无需预期的浸泡，直接放入糯米在电饭锅，洗米三次，加入660克水，因为我们不需要煮太熟，所以用660克水份刚刚好。

2）煮好的糯米，用勺子打松，然后待凉至40°C左右。

3）放所有酒饼入小美主锅打磨成粉 两次 x Turbo 2 秒。加入 400克水混合酒饼

      2 分钟 / 37°C /速度3 

4）将酒饼混合液倒入凉好的糯米饭里拌匀后，盖上，发酵三天。

糯米酒发酵三天后

      *本人因为不太煮饭，所以直接用电饭锅酿制。

5）这时候加入材料C，搅拌后可以继续盖上，发酵30天，在前面的20天里都需要每天开盖搅拌，所以无需太纠结加入的糖是否完全溶解。

6）写上日期哦！30天后, 由于沉淀的糯米，液体呈透明金黄色。

7）时间到了就用滤布袋把奶白的米酒挤出来装入瓶子里。或者一个容器里，方便把沉淀好的糯米末隔开，用勺子舀起黄色的米酒来。重复这个步骤以至糯米酒呈金黄色清澈的黄酒。

8）本人就比较怕麻烦，而且带糯米末奶白的米酒就好像 韩国的米酒 Makgoelli，很香，主要这个酿制就是供本人饮用的，所以不做步骤7了，过滤后的奶白米酒直接装入瓶子里饮用。

韩国对米酒部分有不同的称呼

收割了三瓶，一瓶给了老弟喝。

Covid-19 Vaccine Appointment

The first news from my best friend, she texted me: "finally is your turn!" 

Amazing, she helped a few of us to check our appointment everyday and night, so thoughtful of her. 

Then I checked a sms from MySejahtera: "Please check the details of the covid-19 vaccination appointment for ID no xxxxx in MySejahtera." The message was sent in early morning 5:34am. 

Then I open MySejahtera app to check on the appointment details, I am so overwhelmed by this news. I have been waiting and checking since the day I registered in April. 

Looking at friends and relatives who have gotten jab, was feeling sad the day I failed to get AZ, the next day read some of Facebook friends posted that even they have failed to get appointment for AZ on the day, but the next day they got the surprise news from MySejahtera saying the appointment is set for them. 

 I was devastated day by day after checking on MySejahtera yet nothing appear in the "1st Dose appointment". I check the news from the app every day and night, disappointment that is never fails me...

The feeling is like having constipation.... such long time now has finally released! 

To me, in such pandemic time, whichever and whatever vaccine that works, I will take it as earlier as possible, not until everyone in this country is vaccinated, the economic can't get back on track. Therefore if you are not in a health complication, why choose the brand, get yourselves vaccinated as soon as possible. Is for the best of the country and people.
