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.
& b) ?) H; I# g, t- N) E/ S2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
+ G0 ?' j. X- g Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.3 T x$ A( n+ P' ]
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
