Prepare the salsa by small dicing the fruit and mixing it with Mirin, rice wine vinegar and honey. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Warm the cream cheese and fold into the rice pudding. Scrape the vanilla pod and fold in the pudding. Set aside in refrigerator until chilled.

Set up your rolling mise en place as in the above link.
