Avocados being as cheap as they are right now (May 2024) feels like a TREAT.

So what can we do with them and how do we get our kids to eat them?

Yumi has a couple of ways to get them into your body! And your kids!

And Simon knows about what the different varieties mean and how much a local cafe can charge for Smashed Avo these days.

JAPANESE ABSORPTION METHOD RICE

You need a relatively small, good quality saucepan with a lid that fits. You also need kitchen scales.

Weigh out your rice.

Rinse rice in cold water twice.

Allow the rice to sit for at least half an hour, no more than 16 hours.

Cook on your smallest stove element, on HIGH for 7 minutes. Turn the heat to the stove's lowest settings for another 7 minutes, then switch off the heat and allow the rice to steam. (Don't remove the lid.)

Some portion options...

I use this quantity most often. It's enough for a modest portion for 3-4 people.

240g rice + 360g water = 600g total weight (not counting the saucepan)

Single serve?

150g rice + 220g water = 370g

Bigger family?

300g rice + 440g water = 740g
