Cooking tips
- The skin of sweet potatoes is packed with nutrients—do not peel them. Wash thoroughly and use whole to preserve flavor and nutrition.
- Soak rice malt syrup in water for at least 30 minutes before grinding to ensure maximum release of fermented enzymes.
- Use a tightly woven cloth when straining—the juice may turn cloudy and grainy if a coarse bag is used due to sweet potato residue.
- During the final 30 minutes, viscosity increases rapidly; constant, careful stirring is essential to prevent scorching.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a healthy, additive-free, natural traditional sweetener at home.
- People seeking a refined, deeply flavored homemade syrup to serve with rice cakes or desserts.
- Individuals aiming to successfully ferment traditional syrup using an electric rice cooker’s keep-warm function without failure.
