! a) ~5 N0 s, ~6 r1. 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.
5 r7 e" P, H u! v; Q8 t: c: [, g2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.5 A- I- a8 `' s& \
