Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets nori sheets
- 200 grams crab meat (cooked and shredded)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Paleo-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (Paleo-compliant)
- 1 medium-sized cucumber
- 1 medium-sized avocado
- 2 cups cauliflower rice (cooked and cooled)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the Paleo-compliant mayonnaise and sriracha to create a spicy mayo sauce. Set aside.
Squeeze any excess moisture from the cooked cauliflower rice using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. Place the cauliflower rice in a bowl and mix in the rice vinegar and sea salt. Let it cool to room temperature if still warm.
Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks and the avocado into thin slices.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or clean kitchen towel.
Spread a thin, even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered to seal the roll later.
Layer a small amount of shredded crab meat horizontally along the center of the cauliflower rice. Drizzle a small amount of the spicy mayo over the crab. Add a few cucumber matchsticks and slices of avocado beside the crab.
Using the bamboo mat or towel, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, pressing firmly to create a tight roll. Moisten the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately with additional spicy mayo (optional) or Paleo-friendly soy sauce substitute.
