First of all, Congratulations!
Babies...Norlene Tan,<br />First of all, Congratulations!<br />Babies are God's blessings!<br />My mom in law said that pregnant women or women having mensus are not suppose to make the rice wine. It will turn SOUR! That's why mom or relatives will make for them.<br />Hope that explains.Katie Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001427273308003975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276265201360342740.post-57443594748006137522019-07-22T17:20:13.985-07:002019-07-22T17:20:13.985-07:00Norlene Tan wrote:

We used to be able to buy the fermented red yeast paste in Ranch 99 here in Los Angeles. Now they are no longer available. So thank you for posting this to allow me to try make it myself. <br /><br />I'm having difficulty to find the red yeast though. There are a lot of red yeast rice powder available online. Is that the same as the red yeast used in this recipe?<br /><br />thanks again.<br />mylifelessonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496364762756908304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276265201360342740.post-20494055507780512022017-01-10T22:14:59.372-08:002017-01-10T22:14:59.372-08:001) Red rice sold in the organic shops is different...1) Red rice sold in the organic shops is different.

I suppose it has to be stored in the fridge n either used for cooking or marinating or for the next batch of wine making replacing the red yeast n wine biscuits?? <br /><br />Thank you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114481376571833081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276265201360342740.post-72409923569125967132016-12-04T16:51:44.433-08:002016-12-04T16:51:44.433-08:00Hi Katie, thank you very much for sharing this rec...Hi Katie, thank you very much for sharing this recipe. <br />Any advice on d shelf life?

My late mother use to make afew years back. <br />As i read though i just want to know there is NO water addedοΌοΌοΌοΌ<br />Pls advice<br /><br />Katie Foong: Ok, this is a very good question. Normally when we make<br /> for own consumption we make it thick! For sale, add water to get <br />extra bottles. Be care careful when adding water, use boiled & <br />cooled overnight water! Can also use bottled water. Usually we use <br />this water to clear or clean the utensils of glutinous rice & yeast. <br />This is then poured into the bottle of mixture<br /><br />Stefanie Chong: Thank you so very much for answering my Qus.
