SESAME AND AVO POKÉ BOWLS

TIP Add a small pile of pickled ginger in the middle of each bowl (if using) and serve.

GUACAMOLE FOR THE FREEZER

Make one or all four flavours. The guacamole can be frozen in airtight plastic containers to be enjoyed later if you like. Just drizzle a little oil over the surface before you seal the containers and freeze for up to a month.
