TIPS
Here are some tips to help you prepare this crunchy avocado rice cake.
- Use Ripe Avocado: A soft, ripe avocado ensures a creamy texture.
- Prevent Browning: If preparing in advance, add extra lemon juice to slow oxidation.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle sesame seeds or crushed nuts on top for added texture.
- Spice It Up: A dash of chilli flakes or smoked paprika enhances flavour.
- Best Eaten Fresh: Rice cakes lose their crispness over time, so enjoy them immediately.
VARIATIONS
- Protein Boost: Add a boiled egg or smoked salmon for extra protein.
- Cheesy Twist: Top with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan.
- Mexican Style: Add chopped cherry tomatoes, coriander and a pinch of cumin.
- Sweet Option: Swap salt & pepper for cinnamon and drizzle with honey.
- Nut Butter Upgrade: Spread almond or peanut butter before adding avocado.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Short-Term Storage: The avocado mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Long-Term Storage: Not recommended, as avocado browns and rice cakes lose crispness.
- On-The-Go Option: Pack avocado in a small container and assemble just before eating.
