Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking it in a microwave for 3-4 minutes or steaming it until slightly tender. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and cream cheese. This will help bind the rice together and give it a tangy flavor.
Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado into strips to use as fillings.
Lay one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi rolling mat or a sheet of plastic wrap.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge uncovered.
Arrange thin slices of smoked salmon, cucumber strips, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Using the bamboo mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the fillings. Press gently to shape it into a firm roll, sealing the edge with a bit of water if needed.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wetting the knife prevents sticking for clean cuts.
Serve your low carb sushi immediately with optional soy sauce for dipping!
