Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar substitute
- 4 nori sheets
- 150 grams smoked salmon
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 small, julienned cucumber
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into florets and grate them into rice-sized granules using a food processor or grater.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes while stirring until it becomes slightly tender.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and stir in the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and sugar substitute until well combined. Allow to cool.
Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat with the rough side facing up.
Spread a thin layer of prepared cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange a strip of smoked salmon, a slice of avocado, and a few pieces of cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.
Starting from the bottom, use the sushi mat to roll the nori tightly over the filling, pressing gently to secure. Continue rolling until the entire sheet is rolled, sealing with a little water if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Serve the low carb sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
