Sikhye is a boundary entry. Cooked rice is held warm in malt water so the malt's enzymes turn its starch into sugar. Andong sikhye is the true ferment of the family. Rice, radish, ginger and red pepper in malt water are fermented cold by lactic acid bacteria into a sour, spicy drink.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceLaboratory conditions found best in a 1999 Korean study of malt sikhye (Mok et al.), given as the abstract states them without a stated base for the percentages. Andong sikhye uses glutinous rice, malt, radish, water, ginger and red pepper (Choi 1991); no amounts for it are given here.
Malt powder (yeotgireum)4 %

Soaked 1 h and steamed 30 min; same base as the malt percentage[mok1999]

At a glance
Sikhye is a boundary entry. Cooked rice is held warm in malt water so the malt's enzymes turn its starch into sugar. Andong sikhye is the true ferment of the family. Rice, radish, ginger and red pepper in malt water are fermented cold by lactic acid bacteria into a sour, spicy drink. Made in 4 steps over 4.2 days – 4.3 days. The longest step, ferment Andong sikhye with radish, ginger and red pepper, takes 4 days (Choi C 1992). Lactic acid bacteria in Andong sikhye; rod-shaped Lactobacillus lead early, then cocci (Streptococcus) take over; L. delbrueckii chosen as the best starter in one study does most of the fermenting.
Standard sikhye is saccharified with malt. Enzymes drawn from the malt break down the steamed rice, and maltose is the main sugar. Andong sikhye goes further. Radish, ginger and red pepper are added and the drink is left to ferment cold, so lactic acid bacteria make it sour.
Andong sikhyeGlutinous rice, malt water, sliced radish, ginger and red pepper powder fermented cold (5 °C in one study). pH falls to 4.20 by day 2 and 3.90 by day 20 of storage; flavour is judged best around day 2–3.
Tea-bag sikhye with added enzymesAdded amylases turn the starch almost all to glucose and fructose instead of mostly maltose (Yook 1990).
Safety
Bacillus cereus spores tolerate heat. In a laboratory test at set inoculum levels, they had a D at 95 °C of 2.8–4.9 min, across sikhye and lab broth. The abstract does not say how often they occur in sikhye. A modified tyndallization with CO2 cut them by 5.8 log and was more effective than conventional heat treatment. Andong sikhye is soured to pH 4.06–4.36 and was stored at 4–5 °C in the studies.

Yoon (1988) presumes that Andong sikhye took its present form after red pepper came into wide use in Korea in the second half of the 18th century. He describes it as a kind of so-sikhae, a family found on the coast of the East Sea and the inland areas next to it, and related to fish sikhae (o-sikhae).
