How to use this prompt

Steam is invisible unless it has light behind it, so the "cool blue morning light from a high window cutting through the vapor" is the load-bearing phrase — it backlights the column and gives it edges. Without a named backlight the steam vanishes and the scene reads as a person standing by a wooden tub. The vertical 2:3 frame suits the rising column; a wide crop wastes the height. Keep the palette cool against the warm rice — that temperature contrast is what makes the steam feel hot. Do not add text or labels on the jacket; small print always garbles.

Variations to try

Closer on the rice — fill the lower frame with glistening grains, steam above
Warmer grade — golden-hour light instead of blue for a softer, traditional mood
