      I have a problem….

      I cannot find malt powder everywhere in my place…

      I live in Indonesia….

      all I found is something called “ragi”

      it’s from rice flour that mixed with a little water and shaped into small cakes and then left overnight so some kind of micro fungi was present there….

      I think the work is same…

      changing starch to sugar…

      but it contain microbacteria…

      can it be a substitute?

      or anyone have a hint for me?

      please answer mee…

      I really want to make that Sikhye…

      :'(

      Check out some Koreaan grocery stores in Indonesia. https://www.maangchi.com/shopping/indonesia I hope one of those is near your area.

      You need barley malt powder or crushed barley malt to make shikhye. https://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/barley-malt-powder
