Filtered water

Rinse the rice three times until the water runs clear. Transfer into the pan, and cover with water 3 cm over the rice. Let it cook slowly for 20 minutes. For the seasoning, in a little pan heat up the vinegar and sugar, then set aside. Let the rice inflate with the steam for 15 minutes with the lid on but heat off. Rehydrate the wakame seaweed and cut into small pieces. Once the rice is cooked, pour the seasoning and mix carefully with a wet spatula. Add the wakame, herbs, and the MM edition salt mix. Stir gently together and make small balls.
