Cooking tips

  • Using a fine cotton cloth bag rather than a coarse hemp bag makes it easier to strain out the malt barley solids.
  • Do not add the settled sediment to the rice cooker, or the liquid will become cloudy.
  • Use the keep-warm mode on the rice cooker; do not use the cook mode.
  • Soaking some rice grains separately in ice water and refrigerating them makes them easy to float on top when serving.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to follow the original chef's recipe.
  • Those looking for an old-fashioned sikhye to share with family.
