Soak the glutinous rice for three hours and then simmer it (you can simmer it softer).

The water is about three centimeters higher than the rice, so that the sticky rice is soft and moderately hard.

When the temperature of the rice drops to about 60 degrees, you can add the malt (after smothering the rice, toss the rice so that it dissipates heat evenly, about 15 minutes to 60 degrees)
