Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 2 nori sheets
- 4 oz fresh salmon
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp wasabi paste
- 2 tbsp pickled ginger
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using whole cauliflower, grate it using a box grater until you have one cup of rice-sized pieces.
Steam the cauliflower rice for about 3-4 minutes until just tender. Let it cool completely.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar to give it a slight tang similar to sushi rice.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips. Also, slice the avocado thinly and set both aside.
Lay a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface and place a piece of plastic wrap over it to prevent sticking.
Place a nori sheet on the plastic-wrapped mat. Spread the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, pressing it down gently with your fingers to stick without leaving gaps.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the cauliflower rice.
Carefully flip the nori sheet over so that the cauliflower rice is on the plastic wrap and the nori is facing up.
Place a layer of salmon slices, cucumber strips, avocado slices, and cream cheese along the bottom edge of the nori.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently as you go to ensure it holds together.
Once rolled into a log, slice the sushi roll into equal bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts.
Serve the sushi pieces with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish.
