Instructions

  1. Add soy sauce, garlic, ginger, green onions, sweet onions, syrup, chilis, sesame seeds and vinegar to a medium bowl. Stir well to incorporate the syrup. Add water and stir again.
  2. Add chopped avocados (and cucumbers and cherry tomatoes if using) and stir gently so you don't break up or mash the avocado.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before serving.
  4. Serve over rice, spoon it over grilled fish, scoop it onto toast, on top of salad or enjoy it on it's own as a side dish.

Notes

  • To toast your own sesame seeds, put them in a dry frying pan and set it on medium heat. Shake or stir frequently until lightly toasted, approximately 2-4 minutes, then remove from heat and pour into a medium sized bowl or glass storage container.
