Koji Rice for Shiokoji Paste 300g

To make Shiokoji paste, put 300g of koji rice in a bowl, add 100g of salt and mix well. Then pour 50 cl of water, mix, cover it and put it in the refrigerator. The paste has to be stirred once a day for 1 to 2 weeks. The paste will naturally change colour. Once the grains of rice are completely soft, Shiokoji paste is ready. You can then use it to make miso soup or to marinate meats and vegetables – marinate 30 min to 1h before cooking.
