How do I make rice balls?
<|assistant|>
To make rice balls, you need rice, a little bit of cooking oil, a tablespoon of grated ginger, a teaspoon of sake or mirin, and a small handful of nori seaweed. Begin by rinsing the rice twice in a sieve and then drain it. Place the rice in a saucepan and cover with 1 - 2 inches of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain off the excess water, grate the ginger over the rice, then add in the cooking oil, sake or mirin, and nori seaweed. Form the rice into a tight ball, coat it with your hand and place on a plate. Serve immediately.
