Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 Nori sheets
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- optional, for serving Soy sauce
- optional, for serving Wasabi
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly, then mix in the cream cheese and rice vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Slice the cucumber into thin strips, and remove the pit and skin from the avocado, slicing it into thin strips as well.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the plastic wrap in a square slightly larger than a nori sheet.
Gently press a nori sheet onto the cauliflower rice. The nori should stick to the rice; ensure it is facing the side of the rice that will be rolled outward.
Place a line of smoked salmon, cucumber strips, and avocado near the bottom edge of the exposed side of the nori sheet.
Roll up the sushi, using the bamboo mat to keep the roll tight. Start at the edge with the fillings, rolling towards the other side. Keep a firm grip to ensure the roll stays compact.
Once rolled, sprinkle sesame seeds evenly across the outside of the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi, if desired.
