Fusion Recipe ⇝ Japanese Fusion Guacamole

A variation on the classic Mexican dip using some ingredients common in Japan. I developed this recipe because i couldn't get cilantro. The wasabi gives it a nice unexpected kick.

Ingredients

• 2 large avocados - halved, peeled, and pitted
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 onion, minced
• 2 jalapeno peppers, or to taste, seeded and minced
• 10 shiso leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 drops hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• 1 tomato, chopped
• salt and black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place the avocados, lime juice, onion, jalapeno pepper, shiso leaf, ginger, wasabi paste, white pepper, and hot sauce into a bowl. Mash until no large pieces of avocado remain, or to your desired consistency. Gently fold in the chopped tomato and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
