Jubeizi is also a well-known specialty snack in the Northwest region. Its main ingredients are oats and wine yeast. It is usually a festival food during the Qingming Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. The production method is relatively simple. Add cold boiled water and sugar. It tastes sweet and sour. It also has the effect of cooling down in summer. Let us learn about the specific method of making sweetbeizi.

How to make sweet embryo

Ingredients

300g oats

Excipients

1 tablespoon of sugar 1/3 teaspoon of sweet wine yeast

Steps to make sweet embryo

1. Wash the oats and soak them in water for 2 hours

2. Pour out some of the water, leaving enough water to cover the oats, and steam over medium-high heat for 40 minutes.

3. Let the steamed oats cool down until they are not hot to the touch, sprinkle with white sugar (you can also leave out sugar, I usually add some sugar to assist fermentation when making fermented rice wine, so I also add it here) 4. Sprinkle with sweet wine yeast and mix well (do not fill the container too full, leave a certain amount of oxygen-containing space)

5. Add a little warm water, seal and ferment at about 30℃ for 2-3 days (open the lid every day for ventilation). Scoop out a few spoonfuls before use, add some sugar, mix well, and rinse with cold water.

Method 2

Select 5000 grams of high-quality northern oats, wash and soak for 2 hours, put them into a mixing pot (made of stone in ancient times, used to mix grain husks), mix them with a stone hammer, and then use a winnowing pan to shake them to remove the wheat husks. The sweet embryo made from malt has a taste similar to sweet wine. Wash and soak for 2 hours, put into the steamer, steam on high heat for about 1 hour, take out and let the temperature reach about 35 degrees, add a little warm boiled water, about 5 grams of wine yeast, mix well, put into a clean porcelain jar, cover, put in a plastic bag and place in a constant temperature place of 30 degrees for 2 days. Pay attention to the production process and make sure the utensils are clean, otherwise it will become moldy and spoil and cannot be eaten.

How to eat

When eating, first put two spoons of fermented malt in a small bowl, then rinse it with cold boiled water, and use a spoon to stir the malt and water in the bowl. The water will become a white juice. At this time, the water tastes sour and sweet, and the malt tastes chewy when chewed in the mouth, which is very delicious.
