Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed)
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 0.25 medium Cucumber
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: If you’re starting with whole cauliflower, use a food processor to pulse florets into a rice-like consistency. If pre-riced cauliflower is used, skip to the next step.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes to remove any excess moisture. Transfer to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.
Once the cauliflower rice has cooled, mix in the cream cheese and rice vinegar until well incorporated. This will help mimic the sticky texture of traditional sushi rice.
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips for easy rolling.
Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Spread half of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.
Arrange a few slices of avocado and cucumber horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice. Add half of the tuna mixture on top of the veggies.
Using the sushi mat or kitchen towel, gently roll the nori sheet away from you, pressing firmly to create a tight roll. Use a small amount of water to seal the seam at the edge.
Repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients to create the second roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each sushi roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth between cuts for a cleaner finish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls, if desired, and serve with soy sauce (or tamari) for dipping.
