NOTE : MIOLA POWDER

Miola Suihan is a rice cooking powder that contains enzymes that help rice absorb water. This makes the rice shinier, moister, and less likely to stick to the pan. Miola also improves water convection while cooking.


if you do NOT use the Miola Powder the recipe and proportions for amount of water & cooking time will change.
