California Roll Guacamole
I’m always making and eating guacamole at my house, and to be honest it’s amazing as it is, untouched. We all know this already, and so it doesn’t really bear repeating. However, every now and then it’s always great to shake up a classic and reinvent it in a new and exciting way.
This California Roll Guacamole is something to behold. It brings my favorite sushi roll together with one of my go-to appetizers and snacks. It has all of the usual suspects found in a California Roll (cucumber, imitation crab, a bit of mayo, soy sauce and wasabi) mixed into mashed avocado, and served with homemade crispy fried wonton chips. It’s a dream come true…that is, a dream you never knew you had but now you’ll always want. There’s nothing left but to try it for yourself.
California Roll Guacamole
Equipment
- Masher
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 small Persian cucumbers finely chopped
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- 4 ounces imitation crab meat roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon furikake seasoning plus more for topping
- 8 ounces wonton wrappers cut in half diagonally
- vegetable oil for frying
- sriracha for serving
Instructions
- Peel and core the avocados and place them into a large bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until somewhat smooth and just a tiny bit chunky. Stir in the soy sauce, wasabi, mayo, and lime juice. Give it a taste and adjust accordingly, adding more soy sauce or wasabi to taste.
- Stir in the cucumbers, scallions, imitation crab meat, and furikake seasoning. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.
- Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 to 3 inches of oil. Once hot, add in a few wonton wrappers at a time and fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Drain and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt or furikake while still warm. Continue to fry the rest.
- Sprinkle the top of the guacamole with more furikake, scallions, and/or a drizzle of sriracha right before serving. Serve with the crispy wontons and enjoy!
