Featuring cauliflower rice seasoned with cream cheese and rice vinegar as a clever substitute for traditional sushi rice, this recipe delivers all the authentic taste with none of the carbs.

Wrapped in nutrient-rich nori seaweed and garnished with toasted sesame seeds, these bite-sized delights are perfect for keto enthusiasts and sushi lovers alike. Easy to prepare in just 30 minutes, these sushi rolls pair beautifully with soy sauce or coconut aminos and optional sides of wasabi and pickled ginger for the ultimate low-carb sushi experience.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce its moisture content.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Once cool, mix in the cream cheese and rice vinegar until well combined. This will help the cauliflower rice stick together.
Dice the sashimi-grade tuna into small cubes and place it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise and sriracha, then mix gently to coat the tuna evenly with the spicy sauce.
Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado into thin strips. Set aside for assembly.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, rough side up. Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge uncovered.
Arrange a line of spicy tuna mixture, cucumber matchsticks, and avocado slices across the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
Carefully roll the sushi starting from the bottom edge, using the bamboo mat to guide you, pressing firmly to shape the roll. Seal the roll by dampening the top edge of the nori with a little water and pressing it to close.
Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, wiping the blade with a damp towel between cuts to prevent sticking.
Garnish the sushi rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping. Optionally, add a side of wasabi and pickled ginger for an authentic sushi experience.
