Asian mask
Given its origin, it is not surprising that its main ingredient is. . . rice! Partly because of him, oriental women look so beautiful, because rice contains:

After this time, a film should appear on the surface - no need to be scared, so everything is correct. Then place a pan on the stove and cook the rice until all the water is used up.
Attention!Do not mix the contents of the container!
