Perfect for culinary use, it imparts a vibrant red hue and subtle umami flavor to dishes, with a precise 48-hour incubation process ensuring optimal enzyme activity and aroma. ## Description Product description Use through koji: Once you have prepared red koji you can use it like normal rice. Red koji invigorates the body, aids in digestion and revitalizes the blood. It is highly valued because it has several active ingredients called monacolin compounds, a series of substances that inhibit cholesterol synthesis. The enzymes normally generated when making koji are: proteolytic (digests proteins into amino acids), amyolytic (breaks polysaccharides into simple sugars) and lipolytic (digests fats into fatty acids). Making: 1. Prepare the rice. Soak the rice. Leave the rice to soak, one hour or until it achieves the desired percentage of water absorption. Dry the rice. Once it has the desired percentage of water absorption we will let it dry so that the rice expels the excess water. Cook the rice. We steam the rice for one hour. What we intend is to gelatinize the rice. Cool the rice. We will cool the rice by leaving it in the air until the temperature is less than 45ºC. 2. Inoculate the koji-kin. At this stage, mix the rice with the koji-kin spores. 3. Incubate the koji. The incubation stage lasts about 48 hours, and is divided into two stages: the growth stage and the maintenance stage. First 24 hours: Objective is to keep the rice in a humid and warm environment at a temperature between 20º and 40º, so we will make a ball of rice and cover it with blankets. After 12 hours, we open the blanket and mix the rice. Second 24 hours Mold starts to become visible, with white spots on the surface of the rice. At this stage the koji creates heat, so our effort is going to be that it does not overheat and exceed 40º. Checks are made every 3 hours. The koji is finished when all the rice is coated in white and has a clear aroma of chestnut. It is distributed by wooden boxes called koji buta, to avoid overheating.
