Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 medium (julienned) Cucumber
- 1 small (julienned) Carrot
- 0.5 medium (sliced) Avocado
- 4 ounces Cooked shrimp or imitation crab
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (optional for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha mayo (optional for drizzle)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice: In a medium skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the cauliflower rice until warm and any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Let it cool completely.
Lay a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface or sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.
Spread half of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge for sealing.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Layer the julienned cucumber, julienned carrot, sliced avocado, and your choice of cooked shrimp or imitation crab on top of the cream cheese.
Carefully roll the nori over the fillings, using the sushi mat or your hands to shape it into a tight burrito. Seal the edge with a bit of water to help the nori stick.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Optional: Slice the sushi burrito in half and sprinkle with sesame seeds or drizzle with sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari for dipping if desired.
