Each pack contains two 30 oz. bags of pre-roasted rice bran, making it easy to start or maintain your pickling bed for delicious and nutritious fermented foods. ## Description Use this all natural roasted rice bran from Japan to start a Nukadoko (reusable rice bran pickling environment) to make Tsukemono (Japanese pickles) and Nukazuke (fermented Japanese foods).How to start a rice bran pickling bed (nukadoko):Mix one bag (850 g) of roasted rice bran with 1000 ml (4.25 cups) of hot or warm water, 200 grams (~11 tablespoons) of salt. Dried kelp or dried chili peppers can be added for additional flavor. Stir the pickling mixture once a day with clean hands. Add vegetables to the bottom of your mixture and mix.Experiment pickling vegetables for between 6 - 24 hoursIf the mixture gets too wet, you may use a paper towel to remove the water or add more rice bran and salt to taste. Tips for pickling ...Cucumbers: due to its high water content, rub whole cucumber with just a little salt before placing into the pickling bed. Pickling time is 6-12 hours.Eggplant: divide a long eggplant into two or four pieces and pickle for 6-24 hours.Try experimenting with daikon radish, turnips, carrots, and other root vegetables. Review: Already Roasted - Vital in preparing nukadoko, this product is already roasted and comes in a generous quantity. Review: 200g of salt to 850g of this product?? - I removed one star because the instruction to make nukamiso has wayy too much salt. Wasn't thinking and followed their direction but instead of 200g I used 175g. at 200g thats 23% salt. at 175g thats 20% salt. I'm used to making nukamiso with only around 13% (for 850g package this would be 110g of salt). Even at 20% its way too much salt! Lower salt increases the chance of spoilage and for mold to grow but never had problem at 13%. I suggest you use only 110g of salt to one 850g package. You can always add salt but its much harder to remove salt. Fermentation should start in about 10 days at most. Will be using just over half of the second package to lower the salt content. excess nukamiso is going into the freezer and hope that it wont ruin it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B093RB486F | | ASIN | B093RB486F | | Brand Name | PONLEE | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (37) | | Number of Items | 2 | | Package Dimensions | 12.17 x 8.66 x 5.16 inches; 3.88 Pounds | | Size | 1.875 Pound (Pack of 2) | | Specialty | natural | | UPC | 655364855232 | | UPC | 655364855232 | | Unit Count | 60 Fluid Ounces | | Units | 60 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** PONLEE - **Number of Items:** 2 - **Package Information:** Pouch - **Size:** 1.875 Pound (Pack of 2) - **Specialty:** natural ## Images ![Koshei Foods Roasted Rice Bran 60 oz.
