Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets, then use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower until it resembles the texture of rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar with salt. Drizzle over the cauliflower rice and mix well to combine. Set aside.
Peel the cucumber and slice lengthwise into thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch uncovered at the top edge.
Arrange a few strips of cucumber, a couple of avocado slices, and 15 grams of fish roe along the bottom edge of the nori sheet.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking the filling in tightly, to form a compact roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water on the uncovered nori strip.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the pieces neat.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and additional fish roe if desired.
