Important Notes
After massaging with salt and marinating in sugar and vinegar, the sweet potato leaves develop a sweet and tangy flavor profile similar to Japanese shiso leaves. ✨
Dampening your hands with water when shaping rice balls prevents sticking and helps create a smooth, firm surface for the rice balls. 💡
