Method

  1. 1

    Using clean kitchen shears, cut the sushi nori sheet in half, stack the pieces, and snip them into thin, delicate matchstick strips (about 2 minutes).

  2. 2

    In a small ramekin, whisk together the coconut aminos and fine sea salt until the salt dissolves into a balanced, savory glaze (about 1 minute).

  3. 3

    Warm half of the avocado oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Place the organic wild rice cakes into the pan and toast for 2 minutes, flip, drizzle with the remaining avocado oil, and toast for another 2 minutes until hot, fragrant, and extra crisp (about 4 minutes).

  4. 4

    Transfer the toasted rice cakes to a serving plate and immediately brush or spoon the savory coconut aminos mixture evenly over the surface of each cake (about 2 minutes).

  5. 5

    Top each rice cake with sliced avocado and pile the shredded sushi nori strips generously over the glazed tops so they adhere. Serve warm and crispy right away (about 1 minute).

Tip

Assemble these right before eating so the rice cakes stay exceptionally crisp. If you have ripe fresh avocados on hand, mash a spoonful across each cake before adding the glaze and nori.
