Analysis of Fermented Rice

Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)



I washed a cup of Jasmine rice,
Thinking this will taste very nice.
I Washed it till water runs clear,
Then let it soak for a while.
But I forgot about it and it soaked for a day.
Another day came and went,
That cup of rice absorbed water and when I finally cooked it,

it was the best cup of rice… ever
Fermented, soft and a perfect accompaniment.
Each spoonful a dumpling of rice,
 To exact taste specifics it was nice.
