Glutinous rice can be used as a substitute for starch (2013/05/27)

The latest food fears are leading to renewed interest in natural food products. Professional homemaker Yang Sian-ying explained how consumers can use glutinous rice in place of processed starch.

Add one to two parts water to cleaned glutinous rice, dumping all contents into a blender.

The glutinous rice needs to be blended to the consistency of soybean milk. It’s best if no granules remain.

The mixture will appear much like potato starch mixed with water. A disadvantage is that glutinous rice is more expensive than potato starch, but homemaker Yang Sian-ying says the advantages are worth the extra cost.

As the glutinous rice thickens it doesn’t settle as much. It is dense, but it doesn’t precipitate. Potato flour yellows and turns to granules as it cools. It precipitates and loses water.

Tainted starch fears have made consumers weary of using this ingredient to thicken soup. Glutinous rice provides a natural alternative.

天然的最好

毒澱粉事件，像滾雪球般越滾越大，現在只要是澱粉，或是勾芡的加工東西，人人都害怕，但其實「勾芡」，不一定要用太白粉，自己買「糯米」在家也能DIY，一起來看看！

首先，把洗好的糯米，加上1到2倍的水，倒入果汁機。

“糯米要把它打到像豆漿，那種綿密的程度，就是不要有粉粒，會比較好”

打碎後的糯米水，外觀就跟太白粉摻水一樣。雖然糯米的價格，比太白粉貴5到10塊，但煮起來卻不像太白粉一樣，會沉澱。

‘糯米粉勾芡起來比較不會沉澱，它是整個稠沒有錯，可是不會沉澱，太白粉冷卻就黃黃，會一糰一糰的，會沉澱會出水

毒澱粉事件，越滾越大，現在連家庭主婦想煮湯，也不敢用勾芡，不過使用糯米也一樣的功效。
