Ingredients

Name Rarity Needed
Staple Short Grain Rice 3 cups
Vegetable Seaweed 0.2 ounce
Fish Flounder (fillet) 1
Vegetable Cabbage (diced) ¼ cup
Flower Mayonnaise 2 tablespoons
Flower Salt
Flower Rice Seasoning

Directions

  1. Begin cooking the rice. It's good to use just over 3 cups of water.

    3 cups Short Grain Rice

  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prep the flounder in a pan and salt it. Cover the pan and bake the fish for 25 minutes.

    1 Flounder (fillet) Salt

  3. Once the flounder is done, flake it into small pieces. Mix the flounder, mayonnaise, diced cabbage together in a bowl. Add some salt to taste.

    1 fillet Flounder 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise ¼ cup Cabbage (diced)

  4. Once the rice is done, let it cool for a bit, but keep it moist with a wet paper towel. Thoroughly mix the rice with as much rice seasoning as you want.

    3 cups Rice Rice Seasoning

  5. To make one rice ball, wet your hands with cold water and scoop out a small handful of rice. Place some of the flounder filling into the center, and form the rice around it. Cup your hands to form it into a classic rounded triangle, and finally wrap it with one piece of seaweed.

    0.2 ounce Seaweed

  6. Repeat Step 5 until you are out of rice or filling. These dumplings go great with soy sauce! If you had spare fish fillets, it also goes great with baked fish!

Description

We know from the quest Tranquility that Vess's "dumplings" are traditional Japanese rice balls, onigiri. The ingredients match this with a heavy emphasis on gromrice and salt.

Onigiri can be filled in many ways. Salmon and tuna are popular filling choices, but since Vess's recipe uses Flying Flounder, we opted to use flounder too. Using regular cabbage for the Puri Leaf Cabbage and mayonnaise to blend it with the flounder gives the onigiri a splendid crunch.
