Description
This rice cooker belonged to Đoàn Nam Sơn, who resettled in Louisiana in 1976 as a young student. At the time, rice cookers were difficult to find, especially in areas with small Asian populations. Determined to preserve traditional eating habits, he searched across Chinatown neighborhoods until he eventually found this appliance.
