We were transported to a small village just outside Busan to experience the making of Makgeolli (Korean traditional rice wine) and wine-cake (well, I do not know how to translate the 술빵).
We arrived at the place...
The first thing that we noticed was how fully packed with traditional coking utensils this place was. It was a feast to the eyes to see soooo many cooking wares that I did not even know what their names were.
See the ingredients and the cooking wares on the table? we were divided intro several groups to make our own 술빵 (sulpang) and of course 말걸리 (makkeolli).
First: the 술빵. We had to mix flour, a cup of rice wine, shredded pear, and carrot and a cup of water...and...then we mixed mixed mixed them up all together... (see the spoons?)
After it was done, we took a spoonful of the mixture into a cup and put a nut on top of it.
what's next? we put them on a bamboo-made pan and put them on the stove for about 30 minutes or so.
Waiting for the rice-wine cup-cakes to get done....
While we already put our mixture on the stove, some groups were still busy making theirs. So, I could take a picture of how they looked like before being heated. See the cups? each cup was just put right on top of it. It's a garnish--- I guess.
Since we did not want to leave an leftover, we might as well use up all of the ingredients and the mixture to make as many cup-cakes as possible.
Then...while waiting for the cakes, another activity was........making makgeolli. Korean traditional rice-wine. See the big round stuff there? It's a gosh.I forgot what' it was...but it was called 'ragi' in Indonesian, or a fermentation factor in makgeolli^^
See the rice up there? we use cooked rice (and some wheat) I guess...and we'd put them together..
First, we got to crush the 'ragi' so as to make them into smaller bits which later on be added into the cooked rice and put /mixed some water into it.
As we were making the makgeolli, the rice-wine cupcakes we made were already done.
They looked like this.
