Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 8 oz Imitation crab meat or fresh crab
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- as needed Soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then chop it into florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Thinly slice the avocado and cucumber. Set aside.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Place a strip of imitation crab or fresh crab meat, avocado slices, and cucumber strips horizontally across the bottom edge of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to shape a tight cylinder.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.
Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into six pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls for garnish.
Serve with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
