Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 small Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until tender.
After microwaving, let the cauliflower rice cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix until well combined to create a 'sticky' rice texture.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge uncovered.
Sprinkle a layer of black sesame seeds over the cauliflower rice.
Arrange a line of cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices across the middle of the rice-covered nori sheet.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling. Roll tightly to ensure the roll holds together well.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or tamari for dipping. Enjoy your low-carb black sesame seed sushi rolls!
