Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 pieces Nori seaweed sheets
- 8 sticks Imitation crab meat
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 8 pieces Pickled ginger
Instructions
Begin by breaking the cauliflower into smaller florets. Place them in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice.
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl. Add the cream cheese and rice vinegar, mixing well until combined and the mixture holds together well.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Place 2 imitation crab sticks horizontally across the lower third of the rice.
Cut the cucumber into thin strips and slice the avocado. Lay several cucumber strips and avocado slices alongside the crab sticks.
Using the bamboo mat to help, carefully roll the sushi, keeping it tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.
Repeat the last four steps for the remaining ingredients to create three more rolls.
With a sharp knife, carefully slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve the Low Carb California Roll Sushi with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
