Start by preparing the cauliflower rice: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add 2 cups of cauliflower rice. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes slightly tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cauliflower rice into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and let it cool to room temperature.
Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, long strips and set aside.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese along the closest edge to you.
Place several strips of avocado and cucumber over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fish roe over the vegetables.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Moisten the uncovered edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a wet cloth between slices for cleaner cuts.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the sliced rolls for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately with low-sodium soy sauce on the side for dipping.
