Japanese-Style Guacamole

Print Recipe
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger or 1 Tablespoon pickled ginger
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 large avocados chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Add first 8 ingredients (ginger through lime juice) to a medium sized mixing bowl, stir to combine. Add the avocado and stir gently until well combined- make sure to leave guacamole chunky. Season to taste with salt and pepper (doesn't need much salt, if any, due to the soy sauce). Store in air-tight container and refrigerate until serving.

Notes

These measurements work best with 2 large avocados. If using small ones, use 3. I also half the recipe when it's just for my husband and myself. It might seem like a lot of liquid with the soy sauce and lime, but most of it stays at the bottom of the bowl.
