Title: tenderising meat with KOJI?
Post by: dair on October 29, 2017, 11:26:05 pm
I sometime get some tough pieces of meat, but I read that one can use KOJI, a japanese ferment (mold/yeast?), made to make sake, miso, but it's also used in Japan to tenderise meat and fish... Well, not sure if this is paleo... And, I am not sure if the mold itself is safe to ingest raw. Sure, I plan to scrape off the outer layer when it's done, but there might be some left... I suppose the japanese don't eat the meat raw, anyway, I'll give it a try once my koji ferment arrives. Supposed to be very simple, takes just a few days.
Another thing I was thinking is Gravlax, a swedish/scandinavian technique of marinating fish with dill/herbs/black pepper, some salt and sugar/ honey), making the fish more tender, was thinking if it might work with another fatty fish as well...

You must try the Holland's Matjes.
They are simply the best tasting raw food that I have found. Herring Fish is fermented in it's own enzymes from pancreas.
