NOTE:

If your yogurt is too thin, run it through a strainer before serving.

Jiu Niang

Jiu Niang, also known as fermented glutinous rice, is a sweet and mildly alcoholic delicacy of Asia. Glutinous rice, more commonly known as sticky rice, is used in making Jiu Niang and contains a high concentration of starch that is converted to sugar during the fermentation process.

NOTE:

Make sure that all tools and utensils are clean and free from bacteria, oil and salt before you start cooking.

1. Soak two cups of glutinous rice in cold water for at least 5 hours until the rice grains become easily broken with fingers. Meanwhile, prepare 1 cup of boiling water and set aside so that it completely cools down.

2. Drain the water and wrap the soaked rice with cheesecloth. Place it into a steaming basket, and place the cheesecloth on steamer rack and add 2 cups of water into the inner pot. Cook the rice using the 'Steam Vegetable' function for 30 minutes. Allow the the pressure to naturally release before opening the lid (See Safely Removing the Lid).

3. Place starter yeast powder in a glass or ceramic container, and set the container to the side.

4. Allow the steamed rice to cool down below 95^ F/ 35^ C. Mix the cold boiled water and yeast powder with the rice thoroughly in the container. Make sure that each rice grain is separated, rather than stuck together. Gently press the rice mixture together and leave a hole in the middle of the mixture.

5. Add water to the 3 cup mark in the inner pot. Place the container into the inner pot with the steamer rack. Water should submerge to

about 0.5in/1cm of the bottom of the containers for even heat conduction. Make sure to close the lid of the containers to avoid excess evaporation from the rice.

1. Press the 'Yogurt' button and then press the 'Adjust' button twice for "Less" to access the Jiu Niang function (the display will read "JIUN"). The default fermentation time is 24 hours. You may need to change the time based on the type of yeast used; use the 'Cook Time' button and the '+' and '-' buttons to change the cooking time.
2. Jiu Niang will be ready when the program finishes. A well-made fermented glutinous rice has transparent liquid and some small gas bubbles with an aroma of liquor and is very sweet. If there are some white fungi on the surface, this is normal. If it has black fungi, the rice was contaminated during the process and it should not be consumed. Avoid running the fermentation for too long, which causes the rice to turn sour.
3. When the program is finished, the pressure cooker will beep three times and go into standby mode.
