First time trying to make vegetable charcuterie. Boiled beets and carrots, peel, salt for 2 days, dust some #koji on, and hope it blooms. #food #cooking #fermentation
The #koji grew beautifully on the vegetables over 2 days. There’s a little bit of green on them but I’m not worried. Next, into the dehydrator. #fermentation
@danwchan yes, I misread the instructions and just put a bunch of salt in. Supposed to only be 1.75% salt by total weight of vegetables! Not sure how that affects the fermentation, but after the mold is grown, it’s dehydrated to ~50% initial weight, so it ends up being about 3.5% salt internally
