Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 4 sheets Nori Sheets
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 8 ounces Smoked Salmon
- 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- 4 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos for Gluten-Free)
Instructions
1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and stem, and cut the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.
2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. Once cooled, mix the cauliflower rice with the cream cheese until well combined, creating a sticky rice alternative.
4. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly.
5. Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Evenly spread 1/4 of the cauliflower and cream cheese mixture on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
6. Arrange a few strips of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon across the center of the cauliflower rice on each nori sheet.
7. To roll, gently lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you, holding the filling in place with your fingers. Begin rolling the mat away from you, firmly pressing to create a tight roll.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the roll. Using a sharp knife, slice into 6-8 pieces.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets.
10. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
