Fuji IH Multifunction Rice Cooker by Yum Asia
3.8.2 WHAT IS YUMAMI?
Yumami or ‘extra tasty’ rice function on Fuji enhances the flavour of any type of white rice by using a specially
designed cooking cycle.
It does this by using a sequence of soaking and steaming to release the sugars contained in the rice. These sugars
are then reabsorbed back into the rice as a different chemical structure and can attach to the surface of the rice.
This change in sugar chemistry can then activate Umami receptors of the tongue. The result is more flavourful rice
with improved texture and taste.
Usually the rice produced is fluffier, softer and sweeter (depending on the type of white grain used). The full cooking
time,
including the special soaking and steaming
, for the Yumami function on Fuji is 1 hour, 6 minutes.
