1sliceshokupan (Japanese Pullman loaf bread or pain de mie)
½avocado
1wedgelemon
freshly ground black pepper
flake sea salt(This salt has soft, sheer, pyramid-like flakes, which give food a beautiful look and crunchy finish. This salt will add a complex, a hint of briny flavor to the food. England’s Essex coast is where the most popular brand, Maldon, is harvested.)
Gather all the ingredients. This is for the Basic Avocado Toast. Toast a slice of Shokupan (Japanese pullman loaf bread).
Cut the avocado in half by running the knife around it. Twist.
If you are using only half an avocado, keep the one with seed for later. I use this avocado keeper to avoid oxidation. You can also squeeze lemon juice on the surface.
Smack the seed and remove it. Scoop the avocado flesh with a spoon.
Mash avocado with a fork and squeeze the lemon. Mix all together.
#1 Basic Avocado Toast
Transfer the mashed avocado onto a toasted shokupan. Press the avocado gently to evenly distribute with a fork. Season with freshly ground black pepper and flaked sea salt.
Drizzle sesame oil over the avocado. Serve immediately.
#2 Avocado Toast with Furikake
Transfer the mashed avocado onto a toasted shokupan. Press the avocado gently to evenly distribute with a fork. Season with flake sea salt and furikake. Drizzle sesame oil over the avocado. Serve immediately.
#3 Avocado Toast with Japanese Mayo or Spicy Mayo and Shichimi Togarashi
Instead of mashed avocado, you can serve with sliced avocado. Peel the avocado skin, and cut the avocado into ¼ inch slices.
Gently pressed to stagger and squeeze the lemon to coat the avocado with lemon juice.
Transfer the sliced avocado to a toasted shokupan, drizzle sesame oil over the avocado, and season with flake sea salt.
To make spicy mayo, mix Japanese mayo and sriracha sauce. If you don’t like spicy mayo, simply use just mayo. Drizzle Japanese mayo or spicy mayo on top of the avocado slices and sprinkle Shichimi Togarashi on top. Serve immediately.
#4 Avocado Toast with Ramen Egg
Transfer the mashed avocado onto a toasted shokupan. Press the avocado gently to evenly distribute with a fork. Drizzle sesame oil and season with flake sea salt.
Cut the ramen egg (Ajitsuke Tamago) in half and place on top of the mashed avocado toast.
Garnish with Korean seaweed and sprinkle Shichimi Togarashi on top. Serve immediately.
#5 Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon
Transfer the mashed avocado onto a toasted shokupan. Press the avocado gently to evenly distribute with a fork. Drizzle sesame oil and season with flake sea salt.
Using a peeler, thinly slice the cucumber and remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Put the sliced cucumber and then smoked salmon on top.
Roll up shiso leaves and cut into julienned strips. Garnish on top of the smoked salmon.
Place some ikura and drizzle soy sauce on top. Serve immediately.
#6 Avocado Toast with Fried Egg
Transfer the mashed avocado onto a toasted shokupan. Press the avocado gently to evenly distribute with a fork. Season with freshly ground black pepper and flake sea salt.
Drizzle sesame oil and place some halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red radish.
Put the fried egg on top and season with flake sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
