Recipe Ingredients

To make this amazing avocado toast, you’ll need the following ingredients. The recipe card suggests the quantities.

• Avocados - Hass avocados are ideal for avocado toast because their creamy texture and rich, buttery flavor spread perfectly. They come in various sizes. I used small ones for this recipe, but if you purchase the larger ones, you might only need one.
• Sourdough Bread - The hearty texture and slightly tangy flavor of this bread complement the creamy avocado, so it's my go-to for avocado toast. It's also generally vegan, but always check. The thick, sturdy slices also hold up well to toppings and its natural fermentation process can make it easier to digest and more nutritious than other types of bread.
• Pickled Ginger - You can find this in the international section of major grocery stores. It's optional, but it adds a nice pop of flavor (and color) to the avocado toast.

How To Make Asian-Inspired Avocado Toast

It's a straightforward, easy process. Just a few minutes to chop, and you'll be ready to eat from start to finish in about 10 minutes. See the recipe card for more directions.

Step 1: After mashing the avocado on a plate with a fork, mix in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice. Adjust these to taste.

Step 2: Toast the bread and spread the avocado mixture on 2-3 slices.

Step 3: Add the thinly sliced cucumber in the desired amount.

Step 4: Then add the thinly sliced radishes.

Step 5: Continue with the remaining ingredients - green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.

Step 6: Optional - Add a Asian Sesame Dressing, Vegan Yum Yum Sauce, or a Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce over the top for a nice presentation.

Recipe Tips

• When tasting the avocado with the soy sauce, lime juice, and toasted sesame oil, adjust to taste. It may seem a bit strong, but that's okay. This bold flavor is essential, as it will mellow out with the toast and other ingredients.
• Depending on the size of your bread, the avocado mixture may cover two to three slices.
• Use a mandoline to achieve those thin, even slices of cucumber and radishes that perfectly complement the creamy avocado texture.
• Tip For Meal Prep: The only thing I recommend prepping ahead is slicing the veggies. The avocado mixture, despite its lime juice armor, doesn’t keep that fresh if made too far in advance.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve it for brunch alongside a fruit salad.
• Pair it with 20-Minute Easy Vegan Miso Soup for lunch or dinner.
• Cut the toast into smaller pieces for a tasty appetizer.
