Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 30 grams Pickled ginger
Instructions
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets, then pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for approximately 3-5 minutes, then let cool.
Incorporate the cream cheese into the cooled cauliflower rice, mixing until the texture is creamy and sticky enough to hold together like sushi rice.
Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and cut into thin strips. Slice the avocado and red bell pepper into similar strips.
Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a sushi mat. Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top.
Place strips of cucumber, avocado, red bell pepper, and a strip of smoked salmon in the middle of the rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori and fillings tightly, applying gentle pressure to ensure it stays compact.
Slice the roll into pieces, wiping the knife between cuts to maintain clean edges.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, then sprinkle over the sushi rolls for extra crunch.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
