Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna in water
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 small Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari (for keto, choose low-carb)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat the cauliflower rice in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the moisture has evaporated.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the rice is sticky and well-coated. Set aside.
Prepare the filling: Drain the canned tuna and place it in a small bowl. Mix the tuna with mayonnaise and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, even strips.
Assemble the sushi: Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Spread half of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Place half of the tuna mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber slices along the bottom edge of the nori, closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat or parchment paper, carefully roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to secure the roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a small dab of water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients to create the second roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between each cut to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce or tamari for dipping and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish if desired.
