Equipment

  • Sharp Paring Knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • Avocado: 1 medium ripe avocado approx. 150g flesh
  • Brown Rice Cakes: 2 plain, preferably unsalted
  • Fresh Lime Juice: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos: 1 teaspoon total (use sparingly)
  • Black Sesame Seeds: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground Black Pepper: 1/8 teaspoon or a couple of dashes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Avocado: Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Gently scoop out the flesh. Thinly slice the avocado. In a small bowl, carefully toss the avocado slices with the fresh lime juice and ground black pepper, ensuring the slices remain intact.
  • Assemble the Snaps: Place the two brown rice cakes on separate plates or a serving board.
  • Top and Garnish: Evenly arrange the seasoned avocado slices over each rice cake. Drizzle approximately 1/2 teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos) over each. Finish by sprinkling each with 1/4 teaspoon of black sesame seeds.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Avocado Rice Snaps right away for the best taste and crunchy texture.

Notes

Storage & Dietary Notes:
  • Best Enjoyed Fresh: To ensure the rice cakes stay crisp and the avocado remains vibrant, these snaps are best consumed immediately after preparation.
  • Avocado Tips: If you have leftover avocado, store it with the pit in, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the cut surface, or use an avocado saver, and refrigerate to slow down browning.
  • DASH Diet Friendly: This recipe thoughtfully incorporates whole grains, healthy fats from avocado, and aims for lower sodium by suggesting unsalted rice cakes and low-sodium soy sauce used in moderation. Avocado also provides beneficial potassium and fiber.
