Easy Thai Sweet Fermented Rice (Khao Mak) Recipe

Discover the secret to making perfect Thai Sweet Fermented Rice, also known as "Khao Mak." This traditional Thai dessert is naturally sweet, juicy, and packed with probiotics. In this video, we share a professional recipe used by street food vendors, ensuring a delicious result that is never sour or astringent. Whether you are a beginner or looking for a new hobby/business idea, this detailed guide covers everything from choosing the right rice to the final fermentation process. Ingredients: • 1 kg of High-quality Sticky Rice (Long-grain "Kiaw Ngu" variety is recommended) • 2 pieces of Sweet Rice Yeast Balls (Luk Pang Khao Mak) • 200g White Sugar Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Preparation: Soak the sticky rice in water for 3-4 hours, then wash 3-4 times until the water runs clear. 2. Steaming: Steam the rice for about 50 minutes until every grain is fully cooked. Ensure there are no raw or hard grains. 3. The Secret Step: Thoroughly wash the steamed rice 3-4 times until the water is completely clear and no longer cloudy. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sour or bitter. 4. Yeast Prep: Remove any red spots from the yeast balls (to keep the rice white) and crush them into a fine powder. 5. Mixing: Mix the fine yeast powder and sugar into the washed rice until well combined. 6. Fermentation: Pack the rice into containers and let them sit in a shaded area (not in direct sunlight) for 2-3 days. 7. Storage: Once the natural sweet liquid rises to the top, it's ready to eat! Store in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and stop the fermentation process. Tips for Success: • Cleanliness is key! Ensure all equipment is clean. • Washing the steamed rice until the water is clear is the most important step for a sweet, mellow flavor.
