how do i prepare rice for rice balls?

[ショーン]

Do I have to buy a certain kind of rice or is it the way you cook it? I have been craving some for a while now but have no idea how to prepare the rice

You just cook it the usual way you cook your short grain rice. If you're buying the rice from your local supermarket, just make sure it is short grain and follow the cooking instruction on the bag.

Mix in some furikake into the rice and maybe a SMALL bit of salt. Use salt water for your hands or saran wrap to form the balls. Don't forget to put stuff inside.

How to cook rice when there is not a rice cooker.
1. I polish rice.
2. I wash rice.
3. I pour rice and the water of the same amount.
4. If a pot boils, I turn down the heat 10 minutes afterwards
5. Finally I splash unnecessary water by strong fire.
6. I stop fire and put it for 15 minutes.
(This process "steam")
During it, you must never take the cover
