Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 cup Seaweed Salad
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes until it's tender and some moisture is evaporated. Stir in the rice vinegar and let it cool completely.
While the cauliflower rice cools, peel the cucumber and slice it into thin matchsticks. Slice the avocado and carrot into thin strips.
Arrange a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top edge without any rice.
Place a strip of seaweed salad, cucumber, avocado, and carrot across the center of the rice.
Carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, using the bamboo mat to guide it. Wet the top margin of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create more rolls.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat slices.
Sprinkle the sushi with sesame seeds and serve with coconut aminos on the side as a dipping sauce.
