This is a very stupid question but how do you know when it is fully fermented? Should there be bubbles in the liquid? Or do you just taste them occasionally to see if they are starting to get tangy?
Great recipe, so different from what I generally make, Do you leave a cloth on top of the jar to let oxygen come in or do you close firmly with a lid like in sauerkarut preparation?
Thanks!! How do you feel after eating fermented rice? Does it really remove the sugar/carb content??? I am thinking of using my milk kefir for experiment. Do you think its a good idea? (I am not concerned about the taste, as long as it is low carb/sugar 😊)
When I eat unfermented rice I'm famished after about an hour and experience a sugar crash shortly thereafter. Fermented rice does not affect me that way. Conversely, it completely satiating! It gets quite sour so yes fermenting it dramatically reduces the sugar content. Ferment with milk kefir, whey from milk kefir, or water kefir is a great idea.
Thank you for the information about how you can mix the whey with apple cider vinegar. I was wondering about that. I was afraid maybe you had to use one or the other and I thought what if you don't have enough of one? Now I know I can mix them. I was also wondering if you could use the liquid from a lacto fermented vegetable jar? I have some orange peels fermenting which makes a great drink and I have some cabbage fermenting. Could the liquid from one of those be used as a starter?
The more you reheat and then refrigerate food, the more susceptible it is to harmful bacteria. Because I care about your health, my suggestion is to cook the fermented rice as per when you are ready to eat it so as not to keep reheating it.
@@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork Is there way to tell if it's going bad? My jar starting to smell funky like rotten like, and it has a lot of salt in it
@@bebepilosopo5248 your nose knows...trust it, if it smells rotted it is rotted. Fermented food has a pleasant slightly yeasty/slightly sour scent. Ferments only stay on counter a short time (3-12 days usually, depending on room temp...then you must refrigerate them, where they will last for MONTHS...(or store in a cool dark food cellar). Good luck!
It all comes down to your personal preference. Just know that if you eat them slightly warmed or at room temperature you'll preserve most of the beneficial probiotic bacteria whereas if you cook them until they're really hot, most of the beneficial probiotic bacteria will die.
I hear ya! My kitchen is hot too! Everything is hot lol! Very soon! I created another video using this finished ferment which will be released later this month.
Thank you. Especially for suggesting the various ferment starters that can be used.
Most welcome Victoria!!
I love this recipe! Great spices added to the lentils. 🥘🍚❤️
I ferment quinoa, lentils and rice mix. Love this idea too ; )
yummy combination Bassam!!
It is nothing but Idli in south India for ages. It is fermented rice pancakes.
I love Idli & dal!!
From time to time I crave rice and lentils. This will be something good to try.
Enjoy!
I made this with very fermented kombucha and it is so delicious 😋! Thank you!❤
The lentils look perfectly cooked. I'm trying this recipe this week. Would you mind sharing how you make the lentils? Thank you.
Sure; I'll create a video showing how to do that!
Enjoy the recipe; it's sooooo good lol!
This is a very stupid question but how do you know when it is fully fermented? Should there be bubbles in the liquid? Or do you just taste them occasionally to see if they are starting to get tangy?
Both! Bubbles first and soured tangy flavour the longer they ferment.
Be still my heart all that garlic😍
Great recipe, so different from what I generally make, Do you leave a cloth on top of the jar to let oxygen come in or do you close firmly with a lid like in sauerkarut preparation?
All of my jars are closed with either plastic or standard mason jar metal lids.

@@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork wooowwww very inspiring!!! Let me try to experiment with it too!!
Looks great, thank you for taking your time to make this video. I was always told not to eat bay leaves, but yo crushed it. So is it safe?
Huh, never heard that before. I've been eating bay leaves for decades. As far as I know I'm still alive & healthy.
@@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork Thank you, 😀

Yes you can!
Nice video❤
How much apple cider vinegar would you use as a starter?
1 Tablespoon per quart should be sufficient. But you can use more (ie: 1/8 cup) if you want it to ferment faster.
@@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork❣️ Thnks
Is it ok to cook fermented rice, then store in refrigerator to reheat for another time? Than you
The more you reheat and then refrigerate food, the more susceptible it is to harmful bacteria. Because I care about your health, my suggestion is to cook the fermented rice as per when you are ready to eat it so as not to keep reheating it.
What type of white rice did you use? Thanks for the video!
Basmati; my favorite!!
Isn't it fermented in 2-3 days??
Rice is but lentils aren't; hence 10-14 days on counter at room temps.
Not sure I understand your end comments about adding hamburger instead of lentils...do you mean you FERMENT the beef with the rice???
Yes. Cook the meat first and then add it to the lentils and rice and ferment it. It's delicious!!
What if you just ferment it with water alone without whey or kefir starter?
You can; however, in order to protect against bad bacteria, you might want to add at least a tsp of salt to your water per quart.

After fermented I have to cook them once more time?

Those are some huuuge bay leafs.
The MEAT ferments?? How much meat could I add to this recipe? So I could use animal fat in it too…
Yes, the meat ferments. Depends on how much you make. For this recipe I would add a pound of ground beef. Yes, toss in your animal fat too!
Does heating it up kill the probiotics?
High heat will kill probiotics. Low heat that warms shouldn't kill too much of the beneficial bacteria.
I miss u
Hey you!! Hope all is well!! I miss you too!!
I sprouted my lentils. Its basically still the same steps right?
Yes it is!
I want beans n grains!
Keto so they’re out
Dare I try this?? Lol
🧐
Do it !!!!
I prefer Keto but I'm not militant about it. Go for it!
We are starchivores, not ketovores!
So this is a curry?
Dhal?
Is that even a curry? Lol my brain has no memory…
Yes, I guess you could say it's a masala-type curry.
Mmm, fermented dhal! I'll have to make that for this channel!!
Can i just do red lentils? And no rice?
Yes you can!
My kitchen is hot 🥵 would like to see what it looks like femented when it ready
I hear ya! My kitchen is hot too! Everything is hot lol!
Very soon! I created another video using this finished ferment which will be released later this month.
