Japanese Guacamole

== Description ==
In the Japanese art of origami, a simple piece of paper can be transformed into a crane, an elephant or even Santa Claus. Equally subtle, stirring a few Japanese ingredients into roughly mashed California avocado creates a new taste sensation.
== Ingredients ==
* ¾ cup shredded daikon (Japanese radish)
* ½ tsp. salt, rock, iodized, or kosher only
* 2 California avocados, about 1 pound
* ⅓ cup finely sliced green onion
* ¼ cup fresh salmon caviar If desired, substitute 1 teaspoon seaweed and sesame seed furikaki, which can be found in Japanese markets.
* 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
* 1 tbsp. Japanese soy sauce
* ½ tbsp. wasabi paste Wasabi is referred to as Japanese horseradish and can be purchase in the Asian section of many supermarkets or in Japanese markets.
== Directions ==
# Toss daikon with salt; just drain in a colander for half an hour.
# Squeeze out as much liquid as possible; then reserve.
# Coarsely mash avocados. Fold with the remaining ingredients and reserved daikon.
# Guacamole is best made as close to serving as possible. For short-term storage, seal in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the guacamole. Use as a dip for chips, cooked meat, poultry, or seafood.
