Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Yellowtail (sashimi-grade)
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (low sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat the cauliflower rice in a skillet or microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft and tender. Allow it to cool, then stir in the rice vinegar to mimic the flavor of sushi rice.
Slice the yellowtail into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they're sashimi-sized for the roll.
Cut the cucumber and avocado into thin, julienned strips for easy rolling.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread half a cup of the prepared cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to seal the roll later.
Layer a few slices of yellowtail, cucumber strips, avocado, and optional cream cheese in the center of the rice.
Use the bamboo mat to carefully roll the nori, starting at the bottom edge. Press gently to form a tight roll; seal the edge with a small amount of water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet to make another roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Serve the low-carb yellowtail rolls with soy sauce or tamari, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
