Often garnished with a thin slice of jalapeño and a drizzle of soy sauce, it’s a dish that is both elegant and incredibly addictive. This recipe shows you how to make this popular dish at home. While it requires a few steps, including chilling the rice, the result is a truly impressive appetizer that is perfect for a party or a special night in.
