Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming it lightly for 3-5 minutes until tender. Let it cool completely and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with rice vinegar. This gives it a tangy flavor similar to traditional sushi rice.
Slice the avocado, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips, approximately 3-4 inches long, to make them easy to roll inside the sushi.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or clean cutting board. Make sure the shorter edge of the nori is closest to you.
Spread about 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice onto the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.
Arrange a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and red bell pepper horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice.
Carefully roll the sushi away from you, using the bamboo mat to press and shape the roll securely. Wet the edge of the nori sheet with a little water to seal it.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori, cauliflower rice, and vegetables.
Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice them into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth for cleaner cuts between slices.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced rolls for added flavor and texture.
Serve the keto vegan sushi with tamari or coconut aminos for dipping, and garnish with optional wasabi paste or pickled ginger as desired.
