F; b6 h7 P4 h7 P" v; j& o% g1. 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.3 _# s4 \# L3 T$ m0 [( G8 X
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
k' m" k7 @( M* V5 e Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.! S1 ?1 }8 I! O$ n+ Y
