Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-like grains.
In a nonstick skillet, heat the cauliflower rice over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until tender.
Remove the cauliflower rice from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the rice vinegar and sesame oil. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Lay the nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel, shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
Slice the avocado, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips.
Arrange the avocado, cucumber, and bell pepper strips horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice.
Using the mat or towel to help, tightly roll the nori sheet over the filling, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
Moisten the top edge of the nori sheet with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
With a sharp knife, cut each roll into approximately 6-8 pieces.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger.
