Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 200 grams Fresh salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Avocado, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a skillet over medium heat, add the avocado oil, then add the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes until the rice is tender. Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Allow to cool completely.
Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange salmon slices, cucumber, carrot, and avocado evenly across the middle of the cauliflower rice.
Start rolling the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to help guide the roll. Use a little water on the exposed edge of the nori to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with coconut aminos for dipping and pickled ginger on the side, if using.
