Top 5 dishes made from Avocado *cut into small pieces
1 . Cold Tofu & Avocado with ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce
Cold Tofu & Avocado with ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce
‘Yakiniku’ Sauce is a dipping sauce for Japanese style BBQ. My family’s ‘Yakiniku’ Sauce is very versatile and can be used as a seasoning sauce for many dishes. It goes very well with Avocado and Tofu as well. This is a healthy and very nutritious ‘Hiyayakko’, a Japanese dish of cold Tofu. You don’t like Tofu? Try this one. I am confident you will enjoy it.
Ingredient
1/4 sheet
Toasted Nori *torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds *lightly ground
1/2 teaspoon
grated Garlic
1/2 teaspoon
grated Ginger
1/2 teaspoon
Sugar
1/2 teaspoon
Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce)
1 tablespoon

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine all the Yakiniku Sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add Avocado and Spring Onion, and mix to combine.

2 . Prawns & Avocado Salad with Wasabi Mayo
Prawns & Avocado Salad with Wasabi Mayo
This is my favourite Prawn & Avocado Salad. The sauce is simple to make. Mix Japanese Mayonnaise with a little bit of Soy Sauce and Wasabi. I love the flavour of this sauce, however, my family members hate Wasabi. They prefer ‘Seafood Cocktail Sauce’. So, this salad is just for me.
Ingredient
200 g
shelled small Prawns
2 tablespoons
Japanese Mayonnaise
1/2-1 teaspoon
Soy Sauce
1/2-1 teaspoon
Wasabi
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Prawns should be cooked in salted water and cooled. Remove shell and clean them. You would need about 50g shelled small Prawns per serve.
* Step 2
Combine the Sauce ingredients in a bowl, add Prawns and Avocado, and gently mix to combine. Sprinkle with finely chopped Spring Onion on top and serve.

3 . Stir-fried Udon with Tomato, Zucchini & Avocado
Stir-fried Udon with Tomato, Zucchini & Avocado
On a summer day, I picked Tomato and Zucchini in my garden and stir-fried them with Udon Noodles for lunch. I could have added Meat OR Tuna, but I added Avocado. I almost always add Spring Onion to this type of dish, but I added Shiso, which came from my garden, too. It turned out a very simple Vegan dish, and I enjoyed its clean flavour.
Ingredient
1/2 tablespoon
Olive Oil *OR Oil of your choice
1/4-1/3
Zucchini *thinly sliced
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Heat Cooked Udon Noodles in boiling water, and drain.
* Step 2
Heat Oil, Garlic and Chilli in a frying pan over medium heat. When aromatic, add Tomato and Zucchini, and stir-fry. When softened, add Soy Sauce and stir.
* Step 3
*Note: If you have ‘Mentsuyu’, you can use it instead of Soy Sauce. You would need 2-3 tablespoons.
* Step 4
Add drained Udon Noodles and Avocado, and stir to combine.
* Step 5
Place in a serving plate, top with some finely chopped Spring Onion (OR Shiso), and enjoy.

4 . ‘Goma-ae’ Avocado
‘Goma-ae’ Avocado
‘Goma-ae’ is a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. Sesame Seeds need to be toasted, and Sugar and Soy Sauce are used to make the sauce. Depending on the vegetables that I use, I sometimes add extra ingredients such as Chilli. For Avocado, I highly recommend to add a little bit of Vinegar. The slight sourness in the sauce takes this dish to next level.
Ingredient
1 tablespoon
Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
1 teaspoon
Sugar
2 teaspoons
Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon
Rice Vinegar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine all the ‘Goma-ae’ Sauce ingredients in a bowl. Add Avocado and gently combine.

5 . Edamame Mixed Beans Salad
Edamame Mixed Beans Salad
Frozen Edamame (Young Soy Beans) are available from many supermarket stores these days. Edamame is a great snack, and also a fantastic cooking ingredient. If you have never used Edamame for cooking before, Salad is the easiest option for you to try. I often mix Edamame with Canned Mixed Beans to make a salad. I seasoned this salad only with Salt, Black Pepper and Lemon Juice. I added No Oil, but you get good Oil form Avocado. It’s a healthy salad with loads of different nutrients.
Ingredient
1/2-1 cup
Edamame Beans *thawed if frozen
1/2
Carrot
1 can (400 g)
Mixed Beans *drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon
chopped Parsley
1 tablespoon
Lemon Juice OR Vinegar
1
Tomato
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut Cucumber and Carrot into small pieces in the size similar to Beans. Place in a mixing bowl, add Edamame Beans, season with 1 pinch Salt, and mix well.
* Step 2
Add drained Mixed Beans, Red Onion, Avocado and Parsley, and season with Salt, Black Pepper and Lemon Juice (OR Vinegar).
* Step 3
*Note: Fetta Cheese is a great addition to this salad. You may wish to add other Herbs such as Coriander.
