| Steps | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Select a ripe avocado that is still firm to the touch. Rinse and peel it carefully. Cut into even slices as desired. |
| 2 | Sprinkle the avocado slices with salt and a light drizzle of lemon or lime juice. This prevents oxidation and adds a refreshing acidity. |
| 3 | In a small bowl, mix soy sauce with mirin and optional wasabi until smooth. This will serve as the dipping sauce. |
| 4 | Place the sliced avocado artfully on a serving plate. Garnish with crushed nori, sesame seeds, and katsuobushi (if using). |
| 5 | Serve with the soy-mirin sauce on the side or lightly drizzled over the avocado. Optional: pair with steamed rice or seaweed salad. |
