This post is not for /ck/ because I have already cooked my rice.
Balls of seaweed-wrapped rice with filling are common food in Japan, but I don't know anything about their storage procedures; I will be traveling with my balls.

How readily will cooked white rice harbor microorganisms at room temperature, and will danger be increased if I add other vegetables?

Microbiologist here.

Very readily, cooking activates the microbe's spores. Cooked white rice needs to be refrigerated/kept hot/eaten right away.

This just seems like common sense. Cooked rice is always the first thing that goes bad. Usually after only a couple of days.

you will probably get bacillus cereus which causes a large amount of vomiting. it's most common rice food poisoning.

That's in the fridge, OP! Room temp, we're talking hours.
