Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 Nori sheets
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari)
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower florets into rice-sized pieces.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat.
Stir in cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt into the warm cauliflower rice until well combined and creamy. Let it cool to room temperature.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Cut the avocado into thin slices.
Peel the cucumber, and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and then cut into thin long strips.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and top it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay down one nori sheet, shiny side down.
Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice.
Lay avocado slices and cucumber strips horizontally across the rice-covered nori, about 1.5 inches up from the bottom edge.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom, keeping the filling tightly packed while rolling towards the top free edge.
Wet the nori-free edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheet and filling ingredients.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls before serving and optionally serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
