Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until rice-sized grains form. Skip this step if using pre-packaged cauliflower rice.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is softened.
Remove from heat and mix in the rice vinegar and salt. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool completely.
While the rice cools, prepare other ingredients. Halve the avocado, remove the seed, and slice it thinly. Cut the cucumber into thin strips.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your fingers to prevent sticking, then spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese in a line along the edge closest to you.
Layer the avocado slices and cucumber strips over the cream cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, tucking in the filling as you go. Press firmly to seal the maki roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.
Serve the Keto Avocado Maki with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.
