JFC International’s Nishiki rice is superior for its quality and price. I own this Tiger rice cooker and it is my favorite. Jeff always cooked his rice in an instant pot before he met me but let’s just say he’s never going back lol The doubanjiang (chili bean paste) I used isn’t available online but I love Fly by Jing so when I saw that they have doubanjiang online, I ordered immediately!
