Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 Nori sheets
- 4 ounces Fresh salmon (sashimi-grade)
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 0.25 whole Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Lightly steam the cauliflower rice in the microwave or on the stovetop until tender but not mushy. Let it cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, mix the cooled cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar until it reaches a sticky, rice-like consistency. Set aside.
Thinly slice the salmon, avocado, and cucumber into strips that will be easy to roll into the sushi.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy sauce. Adjust the sriracha quantity to taste for desired spice level.
Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap to make rolling easier.
Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top for sealing the roll.
Arrange thin strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the middle of the rice layer.
Drizzle a small amount of the spicy mayonnaise over the fillings.
Using the bamboo mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom edge upward, sealing the roll by pressing the uncovered section of nori onto itself.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to carefully slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.
Garnish the sushi pieces with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce or liquid aminos for dipping. Add wasabi on the side if desired.
