Hi Maangchi... I just made my rice syrup last night, I have a question, how we store it? In room temperature or in refregerator? Because i have two big jar here 😂

[@Maangchi]

You made this, awesome! Refrigerate it up to 1 month.

[@DionaWardana]

@@Maangchi thank you for your answer 🥰... I realy like the taste of this syrup, because it's not too sweet

[@Maangchi]

@@DionaWardana Yes, homemade rice syrup is more flavorful than store-bought rice syrup. Happy cooking!

[@DionaWardana]

@@Maangchi thankyou from Bandung, Indonesia 🥰

Allo everybody, Thank you so much for watching this video and your interest in making rice syrup. I can't wait to see your homemade rice syrup! I posted English and Korean captions. Enjoy the captions! 영어, 한국어자막 올렸어요!

Hi, Maangchi. If I have rice cooker and cook the rice with it, can I just use Keep Warm function after mixing rice with barleymalt in 6 hours? Thank you in advance 💜

[@ghada2792]

Hi maangchi Do you think slow cooker will work for this recipe

[@huntcatch3529]

Hi Maangchi,how long can i keep the syrup in refrigerator? Thank you

[@racheec2398]

GdMorning 🙋🏼‍♀️ from Northern Ontario, 🇨🇦 I've not seen you in awhile & you look fantastic! I sure needed a sweet treat & a new recipe 😄 Your snack of rice cakes looks Delish! As a Francophone in this area, I learnt to cook using maple syrup. But that is not normally made at home 😉 Rice syrup looked a bit like dulce de leche but as you said probably not as sweet. - if I ever come across a Korean market, I'll be sure to buy some. I'll try making some at home too. ** Q:: Should I use a certain type of rice?? Thanks for sharing Have a nice holiday season 🌲

You are amazing. According to your recipes, I cook almost daily. My girlfriend keeps cursing at me. "You are Czech or Korean?" And I keep telling her. My love. I am Czech in my heart. But I'm 99% Korean in the kitchen 😁😁😁 Good job Maanghi. Very nice inspiration for world :-)

Hi Maangchi... i just made this rice syrup following your instructions... started yesterday at 2pm and squeezing steps this morning to finish line. This recipe was out of my comfort zone but you made it easy! My mom used to be a great cook before she got sick, and i found all sort of beans and powder in her fridge... so this recipe was perfect! I regret not learning from my mom sooner... too busy with life. Like all your other fans, I am learning a lot from you. Thank you so much! And sending you warm sunshine across the ocean to you.

I moved from Texas, USA to Australia after my wife died. I still have a Grandson and his partner, both Doctors. His partner is an American/Korean, so when they can travel out to Australia, I can feed them some Korean dishes. I am also happy that they adopted, in Korea a boy and a girl (twins) so I have great-grandkids, and Mrs. Kim, a widow of Korean origin who is their nanny will also be able to come out, so she will be able to make kimchi and other dishes for all. This is the reason I have subscribed to this channel. I especially love the Fish cakes, because we catch quite a large number of fish in Queensland.

I watched my grandmother do something very similar in South Louisiana many years ago. She put the pot on a heating pad to ferment it. The same one she used for sore muscles. It worked well enough. I honestly cannot remember why she was fermenting rice but I suspect it had nothing to do with syrup. Love the videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

When my granny makes yoghurt she needs to put the yoghurt culture in when the milk is 40 °C and then keep at that warm temperature for next hours. She warms up the oven to 100°C and then turns off. Then the large pot is put in there as the oven cools down. Works every time. Last time I did for her I only heated up the oven to 50° C and it also worked very well. Tip for your fermentation process of this rice syrup.
