Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they are not ripe enough, the guacamole will lack creaminess.
- Wasabi paste — Adjust the amount of wasabi paste according to your preference for spiciness. Start with a small amount and add more if desired.
Tips & Tricks
- For a milder version, you can reduce the amount of wasabi paste or omit it altogether.
- Serve the guacamole with crispy Japanese rice crackers or nori seaweed sheets for a unique twist.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or ponzu sauce for an extra umami flavor.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or thinly sliced green onions for added visual appeal.
- Make sure to use fresh and ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Japanese-style guacamole as a dip with rice crackers, nori seaweed sheets, or vegetable sticks. It can also be used as a topping for sushi rolls or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, serve the guacamole in a traditional Japanese ceramic bowl or on a wooden platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a small dollop of wasabi paste for an elegant touch.
