  • SRC Documented evidence and recently excavated tombs indicate that the Chinese brewed alcoholic drinks from both malted grain and grain converted by mold from prehistoric times , but that the malt conversion process was largely considered inefficient in comparison with the use of molds specially cultivated on rice carrier ( the resulting molded rice being called 酒麴 ( Jiǔ qū ) in Chinese and Koji in Japanese ) to convert cooked rice into fermentable sugars , both in the amount of resulting fermentable sugars and the residual by products ( the Chinese use the dregs left after fermenting the rice , called 酒糟 ( Jiǔzāo ) , as a cooking ingredient in many dishes , frequently as an ingredient to sauces where Western dishes would use wine ) , because the rice undergoes starch conversion after being hulled and cooked , rather than whole and in husks like barley malt .
