  • Rice syrup is a staple in Korean cuisine. It is used in many savory dishes, and it's the base of traditional sweets like yeot, or rice taffy. In the US, where rice syrup is gaining popularity as a substitute for sugar, a 1-kilogram artisanal bottle can reach $140. It's all due to sikhye: a mixture of steamed rice, hot water, and barley malt. Sikhye takes days, and nights, of hard work to achieve. So how long does it actually take to make sikhye? And is this why rice syrup is so expensive?

    Let me clear few things here! You make 'Sikhye' first with rice and malt(barley).
    Fermentation process produces sweet drink called 'Sikhye'. You take 'Sikhey' and boil it down to syrup and you get 'Jocheong'.
    What is 'Jocheong'? Sugar was very expensive and rare in Korea until late 1900s. So 'Jocheong' was used instead of Sugar.
    If you ever cooked Korean food before you might notice use of sugar is very common in Korean food. It used to be 'Jocheong' not sugar. 'Jocheong' is still used in expensive Korean restaurants, since it provides rich and deep sweetness unlike sugar.
    I am Korean Chef who makes and serve 'Sikhye' as desert in my restaurant. I don't make 'Jocheong' with my 'sikhye' since making a syrup is extremely time consuming and difficult.

      The operating costs is quite high for a workshop, labor is too in korea where current inflation hurts business. He probably took a lot of household debt to fund this endeavor hoping to come up with a huge profit margins, its normal in Korea, unfortunately we have the highest household debt among the OECD. Realistically though, most Koreans would not buy high-quality rice syrup from Jeolla-do like his, we would like most people buy the cheaper brand-name rice syrups. I don't think he will meet the profit margins to pay off the interest on the debt also like most Koreans and will probably take out more loans to pay off the interest rate. Him being featured on Insider Business is probably based on the hopes of seeing more foreign clientele to offset the lack of interest from domestic consumers because foreigners will likely pay more for quality over quantity.

    JoChung, translates to artificial honey, isn't really expensive. It's about $5-$10 per kilo. Korean culinary culture doesn't have much of sweets, even the desserts are mildly sweet because there weren't many ingredients to produce sweet flavors. There were only few natural ingredients available like honey and fruits. Making of Jochung is very fascinating process and show how much people craved for the sweetness.

    Malt and malt syrup are also hugely important in brewing and baking. The principle enzyme in barley malt (beta-amylase) cleaves starches into simple sugars which in this case allows them to make syrup. But in brewing you want the enzyme to make sugars to feed the yeast and drive up your ABV. In baking, breaking down some of the starches with malt changes the flavor, texture and appearance of your bread. Old school NY bagels (the best kind) typically have some malt or malt syrup in the dough.

I rather believe her than the team. Maybe they see it as use of sugar worldwide in that’s in everything and surplus use? I wish I could taste it. Belgium has a tradition of making sugar out of sugar beets. I haven eaten the fresh beet as a kid and loved it. Grandma helped on a big farm and we tagged along.

Eating sugar just removes that process, which is why our body loves it so much. Sugar in moderation is not only not bad, but it's actually good for you. It's the filth they concoct using all sorts of chemicals that's actually bad. Avoid artificial/chemically made garbage they peddle as a 'healthier' alternative. Cane sugar and natural syrup like rice/maple are much healthier for you in moderation.

    Wow!😮 Talk about dedication. Until now, I wasn’t aware that Korean rice syrup could be very pricey, and I’m Korean-American.😳 However, I do remember as a child drinking ‘shikhye’. Nutritionally, I would think rice syrup is similar to honey, but don’t quote me on that. Overall, this video was informative.🙂

    The rice does not, in fact, ferment with the barley malt. The alpha amylase enzymes in the barley malt converts the rice starches to fermentable sugars. Like in beermaking and whisky production.

    To me, everything she said at the end has a meaningful contribution to how she grew up and still grows to this day
    Everyone appreciates the opportunity to partake in another's tradition and culture. But ultimately it gets censored or destroyed by those who feel they were abused or whatever they assumed happened
    As I continue to learn about life in general, I feel like there will always be a delicate balance of being discreetly traditional into the modern times.
    Those who view her at the end, did you notice she at an older age still respects and looks up to her elders (father and his parents)?
