Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 8 pieces Kani (imitation crab sticks)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower rice: Place it in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 3 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and mix in the rice vinegar. This will give it a slightly tangy, traditional sushi rice flavor. Set aside to cool completely.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice thinly. Peel the cucumber and slice into long, thin strips.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down. Spread 1/2 cup of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange several slices of avocado, two kani sticks, and cucumber strips in a straight line across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat, slowly roll the nori and fillings away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight and firm. Seal the edge with a little water.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice, nori, and fillings to create three more rolls.
Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Clean the knife between slices for neat cuts.
Sprinkle the sliced rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce and wasabi paste on the side.
