Cashew Crusted Seared Avocado Halves

In shallow bowl, combine chopped cashews, Chinese five-spice and salt. Press each avocado half, cut side down, into the mixture to coat each flat side. 

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the pan. Sear the avocados, cashew-coated side down, 3 to 4 minutes or until the cashews are toasted. Repeat the process until all avocados are seared. Set aside.

Heat another large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the broccolini, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper. Sauté until broccolini is tender-crisp and shiitake mushrooms are cooked through.

Pour in wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom. Add the cooked rice noodles, tossing everything together. 

To serve, place about 1½ cups rice noodle mixture onto each plate. Top each with 2 avocado halves. Serve with cilantro and rice vinegar.
