Rice with Avocado

I'm continuing with my easy Japanese influenced theme. Today for lunch I made rice with avocado and cucumber. So simple! And yet, definitive Japan-esque flavour! Credits to this quick and good student-like dish go to my big sister.

I love this tiny gem lettuce, the perfect lettuce size for a single person. They're so small, you won't have any leftover lettuce going brown in the fridge!

Avocado
Cucumber
Little Gem Lettuce
Soya Sauce

1. Cook rice. I used a mix of Basmati rice and porridge rice so the result was stickier and closer to sushi rice.
2. Peel and chop avocado. Chop cucumber.
3. After rice is ready, drizzle some soya sauce (Kikkoman Less Salt) over it. Add the avocado, cucumber and lettuce to get some greens on your plate.

I'm sure this could be fancied up with some low-fat fish or seafood. Or just adding nori.
