Sticky Rice Balls and Pickled Plums with Shiso
Shiso leaves (a spicy herb that tastes like across between its basil and mint relatives) serves as part of this sophisticated Japanese-inspired first course or a light meal. The fruit-herb mixture, marinated in rice wine vinegar and spices, is nice in alternating bites with therich lobster-and-avocado-filled sushi-rice balls.
