Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 avocado (ripe but still firm, de-seeded and cut into 3/4 inch chunks)
- 1 Onion (peeled and sliced. Shallots work too but do not use onion powder!)
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 1 sprig green onions (sliced. Substitute or supplement with cilantro)
- ½ Cup light soy sauce
- ½ Cup hot water (This is to dissolve the sugar below)
- 2-3 Tablespoons white sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons lime juice or rice vinegar
- 5 cloves garlic (peeled and minced. Do not use garlic powder!)
- 2 small Thai chilies
- 1 Tablespoon white sesame seeds (Lightly toasted)
Instructions
- 1
Stir the sugar in the water till it's all dissolved then pour in the rest of the sauce ingredients and mix well. Note: use an airtight container, seal well and you can just shake up the sauce (vigorously)instead of mixing by hand.
- 2
Gently scoop in the avocado cubes, tomatoes, onions and scallions/ cilantro. Mix such that everything is well-covered with the sauce.
