I think if you are used to pure glutinous rice, it takes time to get used to, so in the end it's a matter of preference. I think I'll stick with the 2:1 ratio for at least a while until I'm ready to venture into adding proportionally more brown rice. I'll be sure to update if I do.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947353870084767145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193471227388658971.post-21269598729907459402011-06-06T13:22:23.715-07:002011-06-06T13:22:23.715-07:00Yeah, next time I'll try 3 brown : 2 glutinous...Yeah, next time I'll try 3 brown : 2 glutinous to see if it works as well (since it's between 1:1 and 2:1). I'm thinking the higher the brown:glutinous ratio the better, so I'll be testing the limits.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947353870084767145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193471227388658971.post-8439246013729731062011-06-05T11:48:53.819-07:002011-06-05T11:48:53.819-07:00Thanks!

I'm putting black glutinous rice on my shopping list.<br /><br />Meanwhile I do have some glutinous rice flour, so I experimented on the ratio by grinding the brown rice and mixing it with the glutinous rice flour. I made used the mixture for making dango.<br /><br />The ratio of 2 brown : 1 glutinous turned out too heavy, and not chewy enough. Then I tried 1:1 ratio (by weight, I used 25 g brown rice flour and 25 g glutinous rice flour) and it turned out alright, it was chewy enough but still had the grainy brown rice texture.<br /><br />I'm so glad I found this post since I've been looking forever to see if anyone tried making dango with just brown rice flour and none of that unhealthy glutinous rice flour... this was just what I needed.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947353870084767145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193471227388658971.post-79721954814494955102011-06-03T15:47:36.276-07:002011-06-03T15:47:36.276-07:00Can this be made with pure brown rice or does it h...Can this be made with pure brown rice or does it have to have the glutinous rice in the mix for it to work?Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947353870084767145noreply@blogger.com
