3. Prepare 1 cup of cold boiled water, (normally at a water-to-dry-rice rao of 1:2), starter yeast
powder, and a glass or ceramic container with lid. Make sure that all tools are clean and free
from bacteria, oil and salt.
4. Aer the steamed rice cool down to below 35°C/95°F, mix the cold 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 3rd mark in the inner pot. Lower the container
into the inner pot with the steam rack. Water should submerge
about 1cm/0.5in of the boom of the container for even heat
conducon. Make sure to close the lid of the container to avoid
excess evaporaon from the rice.
6. Press the “Yogurt” funcon key and then press the “Adjust” key
twice to “Less” mode for Jiu Niang funcon. The default
fermentaon me is 24 hours. You may need to change this
following the instrucon of the yeast.
7. Jiu Niang will be ready when the program nishes. A well-made
fermented glunous rice has transparent liquid and some small
gas bubbles with an aromac smell of liquor and is very sweet. If
there are some white fungi on 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 fermentaon for too
long, which causes the rice to turn sour.
8. When the program completes, Instant Pot beeps, displays “yogt” and goes to standby state.
