6
Cover with another layer of corn leaves. If you don’t have a flat, open utensil like a baking pan, you can also use a steamer or something like that. -
7
The wheat begins to ferment, and white mycelium slowly grows on the surface. The fermentation continues until the wheat no longer has a fever and the surface temperature becomes cool when touched. -
8
Take out the fermented wheat (fermented wheat), spread it out and dry it in the sun. -
9
Dried fermented wheat. Take a closer look. -

14
Leave it for about 12 hours. -
15
Knead the fermented wheat dough in the container with your hands, and add an appropriate amount of salt (it should be almost as salty as the usual noodle sauce. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little salty. I’m very fond of it. For each kilogram of wheat, I used about 2 kilograms of salt, so be sure to taste it for saltiness when making it. -
16
Add an appropriate amount of purified water or cold boiled water to wet the wheat flour and mix it into a thicker paste. It is recommended to use cold boiled water, as the microorganisms and bacteria in it will be destroyed during the high temperature process. -
17
Put the pasta sauce into a sauce jar or glass container and stir occasionally until the fermentation is completed and the fragrant wheat sauce is formed. I couldn't find a suitable jar at the time, so I temporarily put it in a stainless steel pot. -
18
The fermentation time lasted140 days. The wheat sauce is rich and sweet. Another pot is ready to ferment until the end of 180 days
