Aged or broken rice is soaked, left wet in a covered sieve to sour, then wet-milled and settled for days under 2 % salt water. The sour flour is pressed dry, part-cooked, kneaded and pressed through a sieve into boiling water as thin round noodles, sold fresh in small nests. Made in 7 steps over 7 days – 9 days. The longest step, sour the wet rice (solid-state fermentation), takes at least 3 days (Haard N.F 1999). Salt is 2 % (JIRCAS). Lactic acid bacteria, 40–60 % of the bacteria isolated from Thai fermented rice flour and Lactococcus lactis, Leuconostoc (L. citreum, L. lactis, L. pseudomesenteroides), Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, L. pentosus, Weissella confusa, Enterococcus faecium do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceTraditional process with no fixed batch size. Many noodle makers now buy fermented rice flour from factories instead of making it themselves.

What makes this one different
Khanom chin has two fermentations. The wet rice sours in a covered sieve, and the milled rice then settles for days under 2 % salt water. The salt-water settling stage sets it apart from Cambodian num banhchok, which is soured as pressed flour cakes in cloth bags.
Factory fermented flourMany small noodle makers now buy fermented rice flour from suburban factories instead of fermenting their own.
Fresh-flour khanom chinMade without the long rice fermentation; Wikipedia describes it as whiter and softer, but gives no source.
Safety
Noodles kept acidic (extract pH around 4.0 or lower) did not liquefy, while noodles brought to pH 6.0 or 8.0 were broken down by starch-digesting bacteria within a few days at 37 °C. Producers are advised to check the pH of the washing water, which can be alkaline, and to sell the noodles within a few days.
Hazards the sources name: Cronobacter malonaticus and Acinetobacter baumannii (listed among isolates).
Although chin means "Chinese" in Thai, the noodle is credited to the Mon, and the name is thought to come from the Mon words hanom cin, "boiled noodles". It is made by small and medium producers across Thailand and sold fresh to local markets.
