Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 1 piece Large cucumber
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Pat the strips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese (if using) onto the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Place cucumber and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the nori sheet.
Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the filling.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, applying gentle pressure to create a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the 1-inch border.
Moisten the border with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve the low-carb avocado and cucumber sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping.
