STEP 1/9
Prepare glutinous rice flour (for rice cake mill) and bottled water with glutinous rice paste ingredients.
* The glutinous rice powder sold at the mart is fine, but the glutinous rice powder sold at the rice cake mill is more delicious,
* You can use water purifier water, but it's better to use bottled water for kimchi.
* If you make broth for kimchi, you can add glutinous rice paste to the broth.
STEP 2/9
I like the white color of glutinous rice powder and it's better not to mix yellow.
STEP 3/9
Pour glutinous rice flour and water into a pot.
STEP 4/9
Use a whisk or spoon to loosen the lumped glutinous rice paste.
STEP 5/9
There are times when the glutinous rice flour melts well with a whisk,
As shown in the picture, lumps can be loosened by soaking them in water, but they are released by hand.
STEP 6/9
Start poking glutinous rice paste over medium heat.
As shown in the picture, the milky glutinous rice paste starts to boil and becomes transparent.
* Stir with a spatula so that the bottom does not stick.
STEP 7/9
When it boils, it starts to boil and the milk turns clear and transparent.
* Adjust from medium to low heat. (Stir with spatula so that the bottom does not stick.)
STEP 8/9
If it looks like the picture, the glutinous rice paste is done. Adjust it over low heat and let it steam for more than 5 minutes.
STEP 9/9
If you don't mix it evenly with a spatula, the bottom part may get stuck like in the picture..(This is the burnt part, so you shouldn't put it in the kimchi seasoning.)
- Stir the glutinous rice paste with a spatula until it becomes transparent in the milky color so that the bottom does not stick.
