Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol or a low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets, removing the leaves and the core.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they are finely chopped and resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process, which can cause the cauliflower to become mushy.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the cauliflower rice on high for about 5 minutes, stopping halfway through to stir, until it is tender and cooked through. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower rice on the stovetop in a steaming basket for about 4-5 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the rice vinegar, erythritol, salt, and water. Stir until the erythritol and salt have dissolved completely. This process should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent your sushi rolls from becoming soggy.
Transfer the squeezed cauliflower rice back into the bowl, and pour the prepared vinegar mixture over it.
Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the cauliflower rice until well combined, ensuring that the cauliflower rice absorbs the flavor evenly.
Let the prepared low-carb sushi rice cool to room temperature before using it in your favorite sushi rolls.
