Rice syrup is a staple in Korean cuisine. It is used in many savory dishes, and it's the base of traditional sweets like yeot, or rice taffy. In the US, where rice syrup is gaining popularity as a substitute for sugar, a 1-kilogram artisanal bottle can reach $140. It's all due to sikhye: a mixture of steamed rice, hot water, and barley malt. Sikhye takes days, and nights, of hard work to achieve. So how long does it actually take to make sikhye? And is this why rice syrup is so expensive?
