Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 unit Avocado
- 0.25 unit Cucumber
- 3 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup Crushed pork rinds
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is just tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and rice vinegar until smooth. Stir this mixture into the cooled cauliflower rice to make a sticky rice substitute.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread half of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch uncovered at the top edge.
Cut the avocado into thin slices. Slice the cucumber into matchstick pieces.
Layer half of the avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and smoked salmon across the center of the rice, horizontally.
Roll the nori tightly over the filling, using the sushi mat to apply even pressure as you roll, until you reach the uncovered edge.
Seal the roll by dampening the uncovered nori edge with a little water and pressing to close the roll.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Spread the crushed pork rinds and sesame seeds over a flat plate. Gently roll the completed sushi rolls in this mixture to coat them lightly, adding a crunchy texture.
With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6 to 8 slices. Serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
