Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Yellowtail (sushi-grade, sliced into strips)
- 4 sheets Nori sheets (dried seaweed, cut in half)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice (cooked and cooled)
- 0.5 Cucumber (sliced into thin matchsticks)
- 0.5 Avocado (sliced thinly)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (low sodium, optionally for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking it according to your preference (steam, microwave, or sauté). Allow it to cool, then mix in 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar to lightly season it.
Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks, the avocado into thin slices, and the green onions into small, thin rounds. Set aside for assembly.
Place a half-sheet of nori shiny side down on a cutting board or clean, flat surface.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned cauliflower rice onto one side of the nori, pressing it down gently and leaving about a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.
Add a few strips of yellowtail, a couple of cucumber matchsticks, a slice or two of avocado, and a sprinkle of green onions on top of the cauliflower rice.
Starting from the edge with the fillings, roll the nori into a cone shape, using a dab of water to seal the edge of the nori at the top.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Sprinkle the finished rolls with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, along with optional pickled ginger and wasabi for added flavor.
