Steps to make Homemade Shio-Koji (Salted Rice Malt) and Salt Pork:
  1. Make the shio-koji: Put the shio-koji ingredients in a storage container and leave at room temperature. Mix it up once a day. In 7 to 10 days, when it becomes thick and porridge-like and the rice grains start falling apart, it's done. Store in the refrigerator.
  2. The innoculated rice grains (the koji) will absorb water as it matures, so keep adding more water every 2 to 3 days so that the grains are always covered. Add up to 1.5 times the amount of rice in water.
  3. Make the salt pork: Spread the shio-koji evenly over the surface of the pork. Wrap in paper towels, then wrap again in plastic wrap. Put the wrapped meat in a plastic bag and refrigerate.
  4. After 2 to 3 days the meat will be cured and become a pretty pink color. Moisture will come out of the meat too, so change the paper towels. The meat is ready to eat in 3 days, up to 10 days.
  5. This pork has been cured for 10 days and cut into 1 cm thick slices. Just pan fry in a frying pan without any added oil over medium-low heat. Don't wipe the shio-koji off; it burns easily though so pay attention!
