How to make glutinous rice noodles

The first step is to peel and remove the navel of good corn (not moldy ones) and grind it into large round grains. You can also buy ready-made corn grits, but they must have the navel removed. The second step is to soak the corn grits in water and allow them to ferment naturally. This usually takes about three to five days in the summer and longer in cooler weather. When the corn has a sour taste and can be crushed with a pinch, the fermentation is over. Take out the corn grits, wash and drain them dry (not too dry, just enough without any water dripping). The third step is to use a mill to press the fermented corn grits into a paste. If you don't have a mill, you can use a grinder, or use an electric pulper, which saves effort. After processing into batter, put it into a glutinous rice noodle bed [a bit like a noodle bed, but with thicker and fewer holes] and put it into a pot of boiling water to press the noodles. Cook for two or three minutes, then immediately take them out and put them in cold water. The third step is to adjust the soup according to your taste. After the soup is ready, take out the glutinous rice noodles and put them back in, then you can eat it. It is very smooth, chewy and delicious, with a sweet and sour taste.
