Sake Guacamole

This is such a fabulous & easy recipe that my other self (Mehana, my soulmate friend) introduced to me!  I make quite frequently and I am making it tonight for the 21/40 Young Professional Mixer tonight at Canyon Creek B&B which is my favorite little garden bar.  I highly recommend you give this a try!!

Sake Guacamole:

makes 1 1/2 cups

2 ripe medium avocados, pitted

1 serrano chile, seeded and finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated ginger

1 tablespoon sake

2 tablespoons minced fresh shiso leaves* (optional)

1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Scoop avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork (leave slightly chunky). Stir in all other ingredients except sesame seeds. Sprinkle with the seeds.  Serve it with daikon sticks, taro chips, corn chips, rice crackers or radish slices.

Great Tip: Leave a pit in the avocado to keep it from browning!
