Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 3 ounces Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade), diced
- 0.5 Avocado, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cucumber, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly cook the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it softens and any excess moisture evaporates.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl and add rice vinegar and salt. Mix gently to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.
Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a sushi mat or a clean flat surface.
Spread half of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly across the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge clear.
Layer half of the diced tuna, sliced avocado, and cucumber in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori sheet.
Use the sushi mat to tightly roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing gently to seal. Use a little water on the clear edge to seal the roll completely.
Repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to keep slices clean.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, and optional wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side.
