Notes

  • *1 If you can not access packaged matured rice bran, you can omit this ingredient. You can use more roasted rice bran instead.
  • *2 Repeat this process with vegetable scraps such as outer cabbage leaves for 3- 4 times. Lactic acid on the vegetable scraps will ferment and mature the rice bran. It takes about 10 days to 2 weeks. 
  • *3 Different vegetables require different preparation and pickling time. Please see the post above
  • *4 Nutrition fact is for the rice bran bed only. Vegetables pickled are not included.
  • *5 if the room temperature is above 77°F(25°c) leave it in fridge.
