Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3 pieces Nori sheets
- 6 sticks Imitation crab meat (or cooked shrimp for stricter keto)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Cook the cauliflower rice in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in rice vinegar and salt, then let it cool completely.
Mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl to create a spicy mayo. Set aside.
Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips, ensuring they are similar in size for even rolling.
Lay a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi rolling mat or a piece of plastic wrap.
Spread an even, thin layer of cooled cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to help seal the roll.
Place slices of avocado, cucumber, and imitation crab meat (or shrimp) in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the cauliflower rice.
Using the bamboo mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top, pressing gently to form a compact roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients to create additional rolls.
Slice each roll into approximately 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife to avoid sticking.
Drizzle the spicy mayo over the sliced rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve fresh with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping if desired.
