Begin by prepping the cauliflower rice. Place 2 cups of cauliflower rice into a microwave-safe bowl and steam it in the microwave for about 5 minutes or until it's tender. Let it cool.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar. Set it aside.
Peel and slice the large avocado into thin strips. Set aside.
Cut the cucumber into thin, long strips, about the same length as the nori sheets.
To make the spicy mayo sauce, mix 1/4 cup of mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons of sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the spiciness to taste and set aside.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread about 2/3 cup of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a small margin at the top without rice for sealing.
Arrange a few slices of avocado, a couple of cucumber strips, and a thin layer of cream cheese along the bottom edge of the nori topped with cauliflower rice. Add about a third of the smoked salmon slices.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to shape. Continue rolling firmly but gently, using the mat to guide. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces, using a sharp, damp knife.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.
Sprinkle the sliced rolls with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve with soy sauce (or coconut aminos), a dollop of wasabi paste, and the spicy mayo sauce.
