Please tell me the recipe.
ChatGPT
The basic recipe for rice balls is given below. You can change the ingredients and seasoning of the rice ball according to your taste, so please choose your favorite ingredients and arrange them.
[Basic rice ball recipe]
material:
Rice: 2 cups
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Nori (seaweed): Appropriate amount
Examples of ingredients:
Salted plum
Tuna mayonnaise
kelp
salmon
Okaka
How to make:
Cook the rice and let it cool down just before making the rice balls. Hot, freshly cooked rice tends to fall apart easily, so cooling it makes it easier to handle.
Add salt to the cooled rice and mix well. Use salt for seasoning, but adjust the amount according to your taste.
Prepare nori (seaweed). In general, put nori seaweed on the palm of your hand and put rice on top, but you can also wrap the nori seaweed or sprinkle rice on top of it, depending on your preference.
Select the ingredients and wrap them in a rice ball. Place the ingredients in the center and shape them with your hands so that they are wrapped in rice. Adjust the amount and shape of ingredients according to your preference.
Once the onigiri is formed, press it firmly with your hand to shape it. If you apply too much force, the rice will harden, so use just the right amount of pressure.
Once the onigiri is shaped, wrap it in nori (seaweed). Wrap it tightly so that the seaweed sticks to it.
When all the rice balls are completed, wrap them in plastic wrap or kitchen paper to carry or store.
By adding other ingredients and seasonings to this basic recipe, you can make a variety of onigiri. Please try to arrange the combination of ingredients and seasoning according to your taste and the inventory of ingredients.
Decide whether you want to cut the onigiri according to your preference. When cutting rice balls, cut them diagonally like fresh fish for a beautiful appearance. If you want to eat the onigiri without cutting it, it is convenient to form the onigiri into a size that is easy to hold.
Once the rice ball is complete, enjoy it with your favorite garnishes and side dishes. It goes well with miso soup, pickles, and vegetable salad.
Onigiri has a high degree of freedom in arranging, and you can enjoy using various ingredients and seasonings according to your own taste and food inventory. In addition to seaweed, you can also add flavor by using sesame seeds, sesame salt, and gomoku rice mix.
I'm sorry that the answer based on your desired recipe was cut off in the middle. If you have any other specific recipes or arrangements, please let us know. I will try to help you.

How long will it cool?
ChatGPT
As a guideline for cooling rice, it is common to remove the heat from freshly cooked rice and cool it to a temperature that you can touch with your hands. Freshly cooked hot rice can cause heat burns when forming onigiri, so allowing it to cool slightly makes it easier to handle.
It is not possible to give a specific time as it varies depending on the cooling environment and the amount of rice. Generally, it takes about 10 minutes to spread freshly cooked rice thinly on a plate and let it cool down until it reaches room temperature.
When cooling, it is effective to mix or spread the rice so that it cools evenly. Also, if you don't have time or are in a hurry, you can quickly cool the rice in the refrigerator, but be careful as the rice may become hard.
The cooling time is a guideline, so you should be ready to make the onigiri when it reaches a temperature that you can touch with your hand.
