Prepare the cauliflower rice by washing the cauliflower and breaking it into florets. Grate the florets using a box grater or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the grated cauliflower. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the rice vinegar, salt, and ground white pepper. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool completely.
Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Julienne the cucumber into thin strips.
Halve and remove the pit from the avocado. Slice into thin strips.
Make the spicy mayo sauce by combining mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the spiciness to taste.
Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi rolling mat.
Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a small margin at the top edge.
Place a couple of cucumber strips, a few avocado slices, two imitation crab sticks, and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese across the middle of the rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, applying even pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.
Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the rolls, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
