Fermented rice can be stored at room temperature.
Fermented rice is a slightly sweet dish with a mild hint of alcohol. You can eat fermented rice a la carte or mix in sweeteners, such as honey, to make an enticing dessert. Since fermented rice is an ethnic specialty, you may have to make a trip to your local Asian market for the main ingredients. Allow for 90 minutes of initial preparation, and six days for the rice to ferment. This recipe yields enough fermented rice for one large serving or two small servings. Add this to my Recipe Box.
