1. wash everything with broiling water, soak glutine rice overnight , using a bowl, cook inside microwave cooker ,( my rice cooker not easy to clean to oil-free stage), rice was properly cooked ( similar to sticky rice in dimsum restaurant ), left at table to cool down to same temp as back of hand, stir occaionly, sprinkle and mix 1 flat teaspoon of wine yearst ( white color, look like the fruit of lychi ), pour content into a jam jar , half full, put a piece of ceram wrap over jam, screw cap , put jar inside cupboard.
" u2 q; }5 c( |! T& n0 X% M2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.! c `8 M" p. z0 a! L/ `4 C
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell./ p7 l2 h. \$ F: t! L1 U$ P3 S: z
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
