Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower (riced)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 large Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for dipping)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by placing raw cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulsing until the texture resembles rice.
Heat a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the excess moisture has evaporated. Let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower rice, cream cheese, and rice vinegar. Mix well until fully incorporated. This will mimic the sticky texture of sushi rice.
Slice the cucumber, avocado, and red bell pepper into thin matchstick-like strips.
Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, rough side facing up.
Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and red bell pepper horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice layer.
Using the bamboo mat, firmly roll the nori sheet away from you, creating a tight sushi roll. Seal the edge by moistening the top border of the nori with a bit of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create three more rolls.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce or tamari for dipping. Enjoy your keto-friendly vegetable sushi!
