glutinous rice

Put the glutinous rice in a clean small box

Soak for about 3 hours until you can crush the rice grains with your hands

Steam in a steamer for about 30 minutes. After steaming the glutinous rice, use chopsticks to insert some small holes, sprinkle some warm water on the glutinous rice, and steam for 5 minutes. This will make the rice soft.

Place the steamed glutinous rice in a clean small box and let cool

Stir the glutinous rice evenly with the right amount of sweet yeast (put it according to your feeling), find a sealable lunch box or other container, and put the glutinous rice in the container

Cover the glutinous rice with a wet gauze and seal the container.

Find a small blanket and wrap the sealed container to keep it warm and leave it for 1-2 days. Winter time will be longer, and summer will not require insulation. It will take about 1 and a half days.

When done, it turns into glutinous rice. Sweet yeast can be bought in supermarkets or markets. During the insulation process, you can open the container for 1-2 days to observe whether it has been fermented and sweetened. The fermented glutinous rice wine will come out, and the glutinous rice will also become sweeter. The prepared glutinous rice must be placed in the refrigerator, otherwise it will easily get old and the taste will be bad. You can add a little ice grain and put it in the prepared glutinous rice to prevent the glutinous rice from aging and increase the taste.
