See full technique reference →The extended cooking (90–100 °C for 8–12 h) hydrolyzes proteins into peptides and amino acids while gelatinizing starches, creating a viscous matrix. Mild fermentation of the plant components at ambient temperatures further breaks down antinutrients and develops depth of flavor. Precise temperature control preserves volatile aromatics and ensures safety by denaturing pathogens.
