Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Cauliflower rice
- 60 g Cream cheese
- 2 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 100 g Smoked salmon
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 1 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 20 g Almond flour
- 60 ml Oil for frying
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
Instructions
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once dry and fluffy, remove from heat and mix in the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Toss the slices in almond flour until evenly coated.
Heat the oil for frying in a shallow pan over medium heat. Fry the onion slices until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips, about 5 cm long, and set aside. Ensure the smoked salmon is also cut into thin strips if necessary.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread half of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge uncovered.
Place a few strips of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon along the bottom edge of the rice. Add a small dollop of cream cheese for extra creaminess.
Using the sushi mat, roll the nori tightly from the bottom edge upwards, pressing gently as you go. Seal the roll by moistening the exposed edge of the nori with a bit of water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet to create a second roll.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.
Drizzle the sliced rolls with sesame oil and a touch of coconut aminos. Garnish with the fried onions on top for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly sushi rolls!
