Koji Peanut Krispy Rice: karamel gone krispy (gf + plant-based)
My chef friend Darren (who also crafts chocolate in Japan) sent me shio koji with the note “you’ll think of something to do with this,” and so I did. Though, I had to do a bit of homework first, because I had no clue what koji is. In short: it unlocks enzymes that help us taste “more” of a food. Koji is grown on rice, which can then be used to make miso; in this bar I went in reverse, and used the koji to toast rice and use it to make an umami-ish rice krispy bar.
It’s creamy and crispy, lightly salty (no salt added), with underlying umami that I married with cumin in a nod to Japanese curry.
Crafted from: organic cocoa butter, organic cane sugar, peanuts, shio koji, organic crisped brown rice, organic cumin.
57g / 2oz
