Guacamole Asian Style with blue corn totopos (from a cookbook ¨Small Bites Big Taste¨)

Serving Size : 4
Categories : chips, dips and salsas

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pcs Avocado, ripe -- chopped
5 grams (3 tbsp) Cilantro -- chopped (leave some leaves to garnish)
1 pc (70 grams) Tomato -- seeded and diced
1/2 pc (5 gr) Serrano pepper (or to taste) -- finely sliced (leave the other half to garnish)
25 grams (2 tbsp) Spring onion -- finely chopped
10 ml (2 tsp) Lime juice
30 ml (2 tbsp) Light soy sauce
10 ml (2 tsp) Fish sauce
2 cm Lemongrass -- finely chopped
1 dash Ginger -- finely grated
10 grams (2 tbsp) Tofu -- diced
Salt to taste
1 packet Blue corn tortilla chips (you can also use kreopek, papadam or any other asian cracker with this)


Method:

Cut open the avocado, remove the seed and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place into a bowl big enough to accommodate all ingredients. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it becomes somewhat of a puree consistency.

Add all the other ingredients, except the tofu to the avocado and mix with the fork.

Place into a bowl and garnish with the tofu pieces, some cilantro leaves and the half chili.

Serve with fried blue corn chips.

Notes:

A typical Mexican dish, guacamole is served either as a snack or as an accompaniment to various dishes. It has grown tremendously popular in the US, Canada and many other countries. By adding some typical Asian ingredients to it, this dish becomes even more interesting.
