+\dishtype{\freeze} %   options: vegetarian, glutenfree, freeze, mealprep

+
+\begin{step}
+	\cutext{2}{cup} uncooked Koshu Sticky Rice\\\scriptsize{{Unlike the drier varieties common in San d'Oria and Windurst, this particular strand of Far Eastern rice becomes extremely sticky when cooked.}}
+\method
+Make the rice: Put the Koshu Sticky Rice in a large bowl, add enough water to cover the rice, and wash it, using your hands to swish the grains around. Discard the water. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times. Let the rice soak in water for 30 minutes. Transfer the rice to a sieve, drain and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
+\end{step}
+
+\begin{step}
+   \cutext{2_1/2}{cup} water
+\method
+Combine the rice and water in a medium pot. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil over the fire. Once the water is boiling, lower things to a simmer by suspending the pot an inch or so above the coals and continue to cook, covered, until the water is completely absorbed, 12 to 13 minutes. Take a quick peek, and if you see any water left, cover and continue cooking for another minute or so.
+
+Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Uncover and let the rice cool until you can hold the rice without burning your hands. Do not let the rice cool down completely.
+\end{step}
+
+\begin{step}
+	Algae Salt\\{\scriptsize A briny salt harvested by sun-drying then burning sea algae.}
+   1 (\cunum{6}{oz}) Yugr'am Salmon fillet\\{\scriptsize This freshwater fish matures in the salty waters of the Bloodbrine Sea, only to return up the Yugr'am River where it was born to spawn.}
+\method
+Make the filling: Sprinkle a little Algae Salt on both sides of the Yugr'am Salmon fillet, and place the fillet in a small pan or baking dish. Bake over coals for 10 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily.
+
+Break the cooked salmon into flakes and set it aside, discarding the skin.
+\end{step}
+
+\begin{step}
+   4 sheets Ama Nori\\{\scriptsize This edible seaweed can be consumed raw, or dried into paper-like squares and wrapped around sticky rice.}
+\method
+While the rice is cooling, cut the Ama Nori into 1½-inch-wide strips.
+\end{step}
+
+\begin{step}
+\method
+Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking to them. Put some salt on your hands by dipping three fingertips in salt and rubbing to spread it all around your palms.
+
+Scoop a handful (about \cutext{1/3}{cup}) of warm rice into one hand. Create a small indentation in the center of the rice. Put \cutext{1--2}{TL} of salmon inside. Then mold the rice with your hands around the indentation to cover the filling completely.
+
+Gently form the rice into a triangle, using three fingers (thumb, pointer finger, middle finger) to make a triangle corner. Squeeze and pat the rice just firmly enough so the onigiri doesn't fall apart. You don't want to squeeze the rice too tightly.
+
+Wrap the nori around the onigiri like you're wrapping a blanket around a baby. If your hands get too messy, wipe them off and re-dip them in water and salt before you make the next one. Repeat these steps with the rest of the rice, salmon and nori.
+\end{step}
+
+\begin{step}
+   Elshimo Tea Leaves\\{\scriptsize These leaves, when dried and steeped in hot water, create a sweet-smelling tea known for its curative properties.}
+\method
+To brew the tea, use water that is just off the boil, add a teaspoon of Elshimo Tea Leaves to your cup, and steep for \cunum{2--3}{min}, avoiding over-steeping which can lead to a bitter taste; for best results, consider using a teapot with an infuser to easily remove the leaves when ready to serve.

+\textit{This dessert is a whimsical, layered trifle presented in a small crystal glass, symbolizing the noble elegance of San d'Oria, with playful elements representing the cute and mischievous nature of the Tarutaru.}\smallskip
 
+Assembly:\\
+Prepare small crystal glasses or dessert bowls for serving.\\
+Layer 1: Add a generous spoonful of almond sable crumble as the base.\\
+Layer 2: Pour a layer of Chocobo egg custard over the crumble.\\
+Layer 3: Add small cubes of the honey-soaked Elvaan cake.\\
+Layer 4: Spoon a layer of the berry compote on top to mimic the red Tarutaru hat.\\
+Layer 5: Pipe or spoon the whipped cream over the berry compote, shaping it into soft peaks to resemble the Tarutaru's face.\\
+Layer 6: Gently place the meringue ears on top of the whipped cream.\medskip
+
+Garnish:\\
+Sprinkle shaved white chocolate over the whipped cream for a snowy, regal touch.
+Scatter miniature sugar stars across the top for a magical, starry finish.
+If desired, place a tiny edible flag with the San d'Orian crest in the whipped cream.\medskip
+
+Presentation:\\
+Serve each trifle in its crystal goblet with the meringue ears peeking out and the whipped cream shaped into soft peaks. The edible flag and sugar stars add a playful, magical touch, perfect for a dessert inspired by the world of Final Fantasy! ChatGPT can suck my nuts, you either use metric or imperial. I (David) personally guarantee this recipe would suck.

+   Use a vertical spit (or use half an onion as a base and position a skewer or two vertically into the onion like a spit on a sheet pan lined with foil). Thread the chicken thighs onto the skewer, making sure to rotate each thigh a bit as you go and the thighs are layered tightly together.
