Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by lightly steaming it or sautéing it in a non-stick pan for 5-7 minutes, softening it slightly.
Mix the steamed cauliflower rice with apple cider vinegar and salt. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Slice the cucumber and carrot into thin strips, and slice the avocado into thin wedges for easy rolling.
Lay out a nori sheet on a flat surface or bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to seal the roll.
Layer cucumber strips, carrot strips, avocado wedges, and cooked shrimp horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice layer.
Using the bamboo mat (or just your hands), roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom edge toward the top, pressing as you go to create a firm roll. Seal the roll by moistening the top border with a tiny bit of water and pressing it closed.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients until all rolls are assembled.
Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to maintain neat edges.
Sprinkle the sliced rolls with sesame seeds, and serve with coconut aminos for dipping.
