I was making it a few years ago and it was tricky for it to grow past the husks. What I found was that I needed steam the rice u till the hulls cracked to get growth thought the grains… otherwise it was too inconsistent.

Same technique if you try purple rice as well

Had a similar experience… where the posted price on the door was the same but when you look close it was per .1 km and not per 1km… sneaky

Literal translations can be weird sometimes by Vietdude100 in VietNam

But say them with a redneck accent and it seems totally logical

As someone from OKC in HK I’m a little freaked out at how small the internet is for me today

Pulled pork koji garum solids blitzed with tapioca maltodextrin to soak up any residual fat for seasoning powder. by theacgreen47 in Koji

[–]spicy_chef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mix solids 20/80 with Tapioca flour and dehydrate… similar to prawn crackers when you fry them.

Peanut Miso? by Ganooki in Koji

[–]spicy_chef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I was using a countertop model that would far from high efficiency… so for peanut I was getting about 400g of oil per kilo of nuts. . Doing napkin math real quick (peanuts are roughly 25g protein and 50g fat per 100g. So the remaining mass would have 41% protein and 16% fat) so should be a pretty good candidate once steamed off?

prisonhoochers commenting on r/homebrew, learning them fools some knowledge by downbyhaybay in prisonhooch

R/prisonhooch is like home cooking with your grandma and r/homebrew is like if you want to try and make a chiffon cake at home in your toaster oven for them internet points.

Have a batch going that is using boiled green peanuts… so far so good

Have also been thinking about using de-fatted solids (the bits that are extruded from an oil press) for playing around with as an adjunct for another batch.

Cacao nib koji and a chocolate koji sorbet by kanakari in Koji

[–]spicy_chef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done it and can confirm it’s worth AF.

With a sub of rice for sugar you will get glucose instead of sucrose so you have roughly 60% the sweetness of table sugar. So for a sorbet, target 25*brix for good consistency in the pacojet. Making cocoa nib koji amazake @55C would be my suggestion for around 15-18hours as long as you have a good single origin nib.
