Allergens
Soy (soy sauce)
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 block firm tofu (about 14 oz)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions
- Begin by preparing the avocado sashimi. Slice the avocados in half, remove the seed, and carefully slice each half into thin, even slices. Set aside. In a large pan, crumble the tofu and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until it begins to brown slightly. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, green onions, and cilantro to the tofu and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Plate the avocado slices, fanning them out in a circle around the edge of the plate. Top with the tofu scramble in the center, garnishing with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.
