My second batch of rice balls came out perfect (of substance).
I can't recommend this enough. Just boil your long grained rice as you normally do (though you can add spices, if you like) and then wrap individual spoonfuls tightly in cellophane and let these rest for a couple of hours in the fridge, when they have cooled enough.

More #riceballs experimenting:

175gr #JasmineRice
300gr water
1 vegetable stock cube

Paste:
1gr cardamom seeds
11gr garlic
12gr ginger
18gr spring onion white
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp sesame oil
1/2tsp furikake
1/4tsp chilli flakes
1/2tsp turmeric
2tbsp sunflower oil

I bIitzed & sautéd the paste ingredient in the #InstantPot, stirred the rice through it, then added water & stock cube.
They will rest in the fridge for 2 hours.

I'll also freeze a few, to see how well they deal with that.

We're stocked up on rice now.
Mom's rice supplies anxiety is reduced for awhile.
