Avocado Wasabi Salad Food

WASABI AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• In a small mixing bowl, add Wasabi Powder and 1 tsp water and mix well to form a paste (add another 1/2 tsp of water if paste is too dr. Once paste is formed, place the small mixing bowl upside down to bring the most out of the flavors. Note - the more you mix the Wasabi Powder, the spicier it will get.
• In a stove top pot, add Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp Bonito Flakes, Japanese Sake and sweetener and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and simmer for 1 minute. After 1 minute has passed, strain Bonito Flakes with a strainer and use a spoon to push out any excess juices from the Bonito Flakes. Transfer sauce to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool down.
• Slice avocado and set onto a plate. Here is how we cut our avocados.
• Thinly slice onions and set on top of sliced avocados.
• Mix wasabi paste from step 2) into the sauce bowl from step 3). Once mixed, drizzle sauce on top of avocados to liking. Top with Bonito Flakes and enjoy at room temp or chilled!

AVOCADO PRAWNS IN WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix dressing ingredients until blended. Season with salt, then set aside.
• To serve, halve and stone the avocados. Dice the flesh while it's still in the skin then scoop into a bowl. Add the prawns and toss in the dressing. Line six small serving bowls or tumblers with two or three chicory leaves. Pile in avocado and prawn mixture. Top with watercress and lime wedges. Serve with prawn crackers.

CREAMY AVOCADO WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• Puree all ingredients together well, adding sake or other dry white wine to the desired consistency, then chill for at least 1 hour.
• Serve as dressing.
• Also good with crab cakes!
• Note: make sure to use a fully ripe avocado for this recipe! It needs to be ripe and rich - Californian (Haas or Gwen) avocados have a buttery and richer flavor than avocados from Florida or other areas. Otherwise your dressing will come out tasting a little flat.
