Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Nori seaweed sheets
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 6 ounces Sashimi-grade salmon or tuna
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: In a large pan over medium heat, sauté cauliflower rice with a pinch of salt until softened, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Mix the cauliflower rice: Stir in cream cheese and rice vinegar into the cooled cauliflower rice. Ensure the mixture becomes sticky, mimicking sushi rice texture.
3. Prep the vegetables: Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips for easy rolling.
4. Slice the fish: Cut the sashimi-grade salmon or tuna into thin strips, ensuring they are bite-sized and easy to roll.
5. Assemble the temaki: Place one nori sheet on a flat surface, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the prepared cauliflower rice onto one end of the nori sheet. Add a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and fish on top of the rice.
6. Roll the temaki: Starting from the filled side, roll the nori into a cone shape. Use a small dab of water to seal the edge of the nori.
7. Repeat for each nori sheet: Assemble and roll until all six hand rolls are complete.
8. Serve: Pair with soy sauce or coconut aminos, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for authentic sushi flavors.
9. Enjoy immediately: Keto temaki sushi is best enjoyed fresh.
