Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Vegetables

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned or sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots

Flavorings

  • 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the avocado, julienne or slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and cut the nori sheet into thin strips to ensure all components are ready for assembly.
  2. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, start by layering the cottage cheese as the base, then arrange the avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, and nori strips on top in a visually appealing manner.
  3. Add Flavor: Drizzle the soy sauce evenly over the assembled ingredients to infuse salty depth and then add the sriracha for a spicy kick.
  4. Combine Gently: Toss the ingredients lightly to mix the flavors without mashing the avocado, ensuring each bite has a balance of creaminess, freshness, and umami.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the bowl fresh to maintain the crisp texture of vegetables and the creamy consistency of cottage cheese.

Notes

  • You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Add sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra texture and flavor.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control the heat level.
  • This bowl is best served fresh as the avocado can brown and the vegetables can lose their crispness over time.
