Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 4 Nori seaweed sheets
- 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Tamari sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
Instructions
Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.
Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes until tender.
Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly.
Slice the avocado, cucumber, and carrot into thin strips.
Place a nori seaweed sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border along the top edge.
Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot in a line along the bottom edge of the rice.
Carefully roll the nori and fillings using the sushi mat, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight.
Moisten the top border of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into six even pieces.
Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of each sushi piece.
Serve the sushi rolls with tamari sauce and wasabi paste on the side.
