Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 can Canned tuna (in water)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional, for dipping)
- 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed paper)
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 0.5 Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the warmed cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar until the mixture becomes sticky and resembles sushi rice.
Drain the canned tuna and mix it with sriracha sauce and mayonnaise to create a spicy tuna filling. Adjust spice level by adding more sriracha if desired.
Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.
Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or flat surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over 3/4 of the nori sheet, leaving the top edge bare.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and a spoonful of the spicy tuna filling in a horizontal line across the center of the rice-covered nori sheet.
Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori tightly from the bottom edge to the top, sealing the roll by lightly moistening the bare edge of the nori with water.
Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp knife. Repeat with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping!
