Red Rice on a Day of Celebration Yuki Matsubara apan has a tradition to eat red rice (sekihan) on a day of celebration. It has been Jfundamental on celebratory occasions such as New Year’s Day, festivals, entering school, graduation and so on. Traditionally, we soaked the glutinous rice with cooking liquid from the beans overnight and steamed it to cook the red rice. However, it requires great care, time, and the knack to cook red rice at home. The beans easily get too soft, the rice easily gets too hard, and the beans don’t bleed well. Here I’ll introduce a recipe to cook it in a rice cooker. <<Ingredients>> * 2.5go (approx.450g) glutinous rice * 0.5go (approx. 75g) white rice * 100g adzuki beans * salt to season (approx. 4-5g) * sesame and salt (if desired) <<How to cook>> 1. Soak glutinous rice and white rice. 2. To remove the harshness of the beans, put the beans in a saucepan and cover with plenty of water. Bring to a boil and drain with a colander to discard the water. 3. Boil the beans again with plenty of water (3-5 times the amount of beans) until soft so that you can mash the beans with your ﬁ ngers. Separate the beans from the red cooking liquid and cool it. 4. Place the glutinous rice, white rice, the beans and the cooking liquid in the rice cooker. *Adjust the water level to the line of “Okowa”. *Add water when the cooking liquid is below the line. 5. Add salt and press the switch. 6. When the rice is ﬁ nished cooking, sprinkle sesame and salt on each serving of red rice. translated by Kasumi Matsubara（松原加純） February / March 2012 i-News 16.

MATEC Web of Conferences 192, 03044 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819203044 ICEAST 2018 Production and analysis of volatile flavor compounds in sweet fermented rice (Khao Mak) Jittimon Wongsa1,*, Vilai Rungsardthong2, and Tamaki Yasutomo3 1Department of Agricultural Engineering for Industry, Faculty of Industrial Technology and Management, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok Prachinburi Campus, Prachinburi, Thailand 2Department of Agro-Industrial, Food and Environmental Technology, Faculty of Applied Science, Food and Agro-Industry Research Center, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand 3Department of Bioresource Technology, National Institute of Technology, Okinawa National College of Technology, Okinawa, Japan Abstract. Khao Mak is a sweet fermented rice-based dessert with a unique flavor profile commonly found throughout Thailand. The traditional starter culture (Look Pang) contains yeast, mold and herbs, which is used to ferment cooked glutinous rice. This research studied production of Khao Mak which resulted in volatile flavor compounds that were affected by rice varieties, including white glutinous rice (Kor Khor 6), Japanese rice (Hitomebore) and black glutinous rice (Kam Doi and Leum Phua). Total soluble solids (TSS) as degree Brix, pH, and alcohol concentrations were measured daily during the fermentation period. Volatile flavor compounds were separated and identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). At the end of the fermentation, samples had pH ranging from 3.91±0.16 to 4.30±0.09, total soluble solids of 32.65±1.65 to 44.02±1.72qBrix, and alcohol concentrations between 0.33±0.03 and 0.38±0.03% (v/v). The potent odors associated with Khao Mak were alcohol, wine-like, whiskey-like, solvent-like, sweet and fruity.

International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch Vol. 3, No. 03; 2018 ISSN: 2456-8643 EFFECT OF THERMAL PROCESSING ON THE SENSORY QUALITY, PHYSICO- CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND STORAGE STABILITY OF THE CANNED AND POUCHED FORMULATED CONGEE Lerjun M. Peñaflor, Florencio C. Reginio Jr., Madelle C. Maghirang, Elsa Joy T. Horiondo, Ma. Sandra Renee C. Tapia Food Engineering Division, Institute of Food Science and Technology, College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Los Baños, Laguna, 4031 Philippines ABSTRACT This research was conceptualized to develop locally available cheaper meat product and under- utilized grains as the main ingredient in formulating congee as a disaster food product. The potential of formulated congee packaged in tin can and retort pouch to be a suitable emergency relief food during and after disaster were studied through evaluation of its sensory quality and storage stability. But the presence of microorganism and bacteria are dangerous for human health, usually observed in canned and pouched product. It is important that strict hygienic procedures be followed when process food was packed in cans or pouches. One way to address these problems is through thermal processing. Furthermore, processed samples were analyzed for their physico-chemical and microbial properties to facilitate the factors ensuring nutritional and safety for consumption. Commercial sterility test showed negative results, indicates that samples were commercially sterile and efficient processing was achieved. The established processing schedule at 121.1ºC retort temperature were 46 and 37 minutes for canned and pouched congee, respectively. Changes in their physico-chemical properties and highly acceptable rating for sensory attributes were observed significantly after thermal processing.

By Dorian Q Fuller and Cristina Castillo Institute of Archaeology, University College London Abstract While rice is one of the world’s most important and productive staple foods, it is highly diversified in uses and varieties, including East and Southeast Asian sticky (or glutinous) forms. While stickiness to some degree can be achieved by cooking methods, true sticky (or waxy) rice is the result of a genetic mutation that causes a loss of amylose starch in favour of high amylopectin content. These mutations are unknown in wild populations but have become important only amongst cultivars in East and Southeast Asia, but not in other rice growing regions, such as South Asia or West Africa. In addition, other cereals (mainly millets, but also maize, barley and in recent times wheat) have evolved parallel mutations that confer stickiness when cooked and high amylopectin content within the same region of East Asia.

Food in China.Pdf
Food in China Each region of China has its own type of food. Chuan food is hot and spicy; Beijing cooking is done with a lot of meat and vegetables (including the most famous Chinese dish of all, Peking Duck); Cantonese traditions include dim sum and delicacies like shark's fin soup; Shanghai cuisine is prepared with plenty of seafood and oil. Drinks Soft drinks abound in China, both foreign brands and local. You can also buy bottled water everywhere. Other than tea, soft drinks, or bottled water, beer is your best bet. Chinese beer is generally quite good, Qingdao being the best-known brand, and almost every town has its own brew which varies from watery-but-incredibly-cheap to not-bad-and-incredibly- cheap. Beware of Chinese "wine" which is actually powerful grain alcohol. Popular Dishes Jiaozi. Dumplings. These are popular all over China, and come fried, steamed or boiled, and are stuffed with just about everything. Traditionally, families make and eat jiaozi for the Chinese New Year or Spring Festival. Making jiaozi is a social event with a group of people stuffing the dumplings together, the idea being that many hands make light work, and the result is all the tastier for your having participated in the preparation! You can order a plate of jiaozi in a restaurant, or you'll find them served in little snack food joints, often in soup (jiaozi tang). Baozi Steamed buns stuffed with a variety of fillings. These are great snacks that you'll find all over China in various different sizes and varieties.

DOI: 10.12982/CMUJNS.2014.0048 CMUJ NS Special Issue on Food and Applied Bioscience (2014) Vol.13(1) 449 Bioactive Compound Contents in Germinated Unpolished Purple Glutinous Rice from Kum Doi Saket and Kum Phayao Varieties Somchai Jomduang School of Agro-Industry, Faculty of Agro-Industry, Chiang Mai University 50100, Thailand Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research studied the bioactive compounds in unpolished purple glutinous rice and germinated unpolished purple rice produced from two rice varieties: Kum Doi Saket and Kum Phayao. Unpolished purple glutinous rice grains were produced by grain dehusking without polishing. The quality of their physical, chemical and bioactive compounds was analyzed. Kum Doi Saket unpolished purple glutinous rice had a statistically significant (p<0.05) higher amount of almost all compositions than Kum Phayao, except ash and reducing sugar content. Germinated unpolished purple rice was produced by soaking in water at 40°C for 3 hrs, and then incubating at 35°C. The GABA content at 40 hrs of germination had the maximum amount in both varieties and tended to decrease after this time. Thus, 40 hrs of germination time was the optimum period for germinated rice from both rice varieties. When compared before and after the 40-hr germination period, gamma-oryzanol increased, but total anthocyanins and antioxidant activity decreased slightly. Comparing the two varieties of germinated unpolished purple glutinous rice grains, Kum Doi Saket had a statistically significant (p<0.05) higher amount of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity than Kum Phayao. Germinated unpolished purple glutinous rice provided from Kum Doi Saket had 16.31±0.34 mg/100g of GABA, 30.48±1.61mg/100g of gamma-oryzanol, 70.10±0.45 mg/100g of total anthocy- anins and 83.10±0.95% of antioxidant activity.

This makes 8 cakes but 3x filling. It's gluten free (even though the flour is called 'glutinous'), you can veganize it, it fulfills a sweet craving but is nutritious! dough: -1 cup glutinous rice flour -1/2 cup just boiled water -small rolling pin (optional) + a small dish with warm water to dip your fingers in, some extra glutinous rice flour for dusting your work area, a big bowl with a slightly damp warm cloth to put over top red bean paste: -1 cup dried red beans/adzuki beans, soaked overnight/8 hrs, then brought to boil in 3 cups water, reduced to medium/high with lid slightly ajar for 1 hr- 1hr + 15 min. OR if you have a pressure cooker you can just cook them and skip the soak. -3/4 sugar -1 pinch salt -knob of butter, can use earth balance/margarine for the vegans. I eyeball it, maybe ends up being 1/4 cup-ish + good frying pan and some vegetable oil 1) Prepare the red bean paste. After soak/cooking them until soft, blend them with sugar, pinch of salt and melted butter/margarine until its smooth enough– think 'rustic' or chunky peanut butter texture. You will have enough filling for roughly 24-30 cakes, so feel free to cut this quantity in half. Set aside while you prepare the dough.
