Eating “healthy” doesn’t mean you have to miss out on good food with lots of flavor and this recipe is proof of just that! The crispy rice is the star of the show, but paired with my spicy avocado mash and we have a match made in heaven. Try it out and see for yourself! Oh, and it’s super easy to make even if it does look like it came right from the kitchen of Nobu.
