Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 5 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 small Carrot
- 10 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, mix the cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Cut it into thin slices.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin, long strips.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchstick pieces.
To assemble the hand rolls, place a nori sheet shiny side down on a flat surface.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the left half of the nori sheet, leaving about half an inch at the edges.
Layer a few slices of avocado, cucumber, carrot, and two pieces of shrimp diagonally across the rice.
Fold the bottom corner of the nori over the filling and roll into a cone shape, sealing with a dab of water.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Serve the hand rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
