Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams Cauliflower rice
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Start by boiling a small pot of water. Once boiling, add the prawns and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the prawns are cooling, prepare the cauliflower rice. In a non-stick pan, over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until it's cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar, mixing well until fully incorporated.
Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a sushi mat or piece of plastic wrap. Spread half of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about a 2 cm border at the top.
Arrange half of the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, and cooked prawns along the bottom third of the rice-covered nori.
Using the sushi mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to shape it into a cylinder.
Seal the roll by moistening the bare nori edge with a bit of water before pressing it down.
Repeat steps 4-7 with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Sprinkle the sushi rolls with sesame seeds before serving with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
