Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 5 minutes until tender.
Let the cauliflower rice cool slightly, then stir in the rice vinegar and erythritol until well combined. Set aside to cool completely.
Peel and cut the cucumber into long, thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado into long slices.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.
Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Spread 1 ounce of cream cheese across the center of the rice-covered nori.
Layer pieces of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon over the cream cheese.
Starting at the bottom edge, carefully lift the bamboo mat and start rolling the nori over the fillings tightly.
Continue rolling until the entire sheet is rolled up, sealing with the empty border at the top. Repeat with remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Slice each roll into 8 pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve with soy sauce or tamari, a dab of wasabi, pickled ginger, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
