Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming it lightly or microwaving it for 2 minutes to soften. Allow it to cool completely before use.
Optional: Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar and a pinch of sea salt to replicate the mild tang of sushi rice.
Slice the cucumber and carrot into thin matchstick-sized strips.
Slice the avocado into thin slices.
Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a flat surface.
Spread about 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch at the top edge of the sheet uncovered for sealing.
Arrange cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice layer.
Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, pressing gently but firmly to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a touch of water.
Repeat this process with the remaining nori sheets, cauliflower rice, and fillings.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls for added texture and flavor.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Serve immediately with coconut aminos for dipping.
