Yeast rice is a type of Chinese food made from fermented glutinous rice that has been cooked and then lightly sweetened. The process involves steaming the glutinous rice, which is then inoculated with yeast to start the fermentation process. Once the rice has finished fermenting, it is washed and drained before being cooked again until tender. After cooking, the rice is cooled and mixed with sugar or honey to create a sweet flavor. The result is a fluffy, slightly chewy texture that is popular in many Asian countries. Yeast rice can be eaten on its own as a snack or used as an ingredient in other dishes such as desserts or savory stir-fries.
