TEMPURA AVOCADO.
I had a tempura avocado at a local Japanese restaurant and loved it. I am struggling to find a recipe online but found this on the FoodNetwork website from the show Follow That Food. There's more to the recipe with ahi tuna, but this is the portion that deals only with the avocado. Episode: Follow That Avocado
