% @+ T, t$ {" F- J" i2 h/ k1. 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.
% T& M- K9 A) V, P2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.3 l4 v( h% E1 K* J2 G4 T. g
