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
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
