Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 8 ounces Imitation crab meat
- optional for serving Soy sauce
- optional for serving Pickled ginger
- optional for serving Wasabi
Instructions
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut into florets and rinse under cold water.
Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until it resembles the texture of rice.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Combine the cauliflower rice, rice vinegar, granulated erythritol, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well and let it cool to room temperature.
Peel the cucumber and avocado. Slice the cucumber into thin strips and the avocado into thin wedges.
Lay one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat.
Spread an even layer of the seasoned cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about a half-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange a few strips of cucumber, a few slices of avocado, and some imitation crab meat in a line across the center of the rice.
Carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and begin rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to create a tight log. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired.
