Homemade Chinese Fermented Rice 自製甜酒釀

One of the special traditional foods that my grandma knew how to make was Homemade Chinese Fermented Rice, also known as Jiu Niang or 甜酒釀, a fresh, sweet and slighty winey fermented rice with a porridge like texture. She would make tons of the stuff and pass it out to all the family but no one liked to eat it as much as me. I loooved the stuff and would eat it slowly, one delicious creamy spoonful at a time, from a huge jar in the fridge. Now I know that my childhood fondness for Chinese fermented rice was probably due in a large part to my predilection for the tastes and flavors of alcoholic beverages as this fermented rice is slightly boozy. (Ummm...mom, dad, what the hey?!) But I digress from the topic at hand. The point here is that I still love this stuff and I finally got up the gumption to try to make Chinese Fermented Rice at home. Guess what? It was easy peasy and it is so d*mn good when freshly fermented! I'm over the moon...I can have all the Jiu Niang I want forever!
