Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 sheets Seaweed nori sheets
- 4 ounces Tuna (sushi-grade)
- 1 medium-sized Avocado
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming it lightly or microwaving it for 2-3 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool before mixing it with 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar for flavor.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo mat or clean flat surface.
Spread half of the prepared cauliflower rice evenly across the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
Thinly slice the tuna into strips, and peel and slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, even strips as well.
Toward the bottom of the nori sheet (closest to you), arrange half of the tuna, avocado, and cucumber strips horizontally across the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the nori sheet over the filling, applying gentle pressure as you roll. Seal the edge of the roll by moistening the top inch of nori with a little water before finishing the roll.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 even pieces.
Serve the sushi rolls with coconut aminos for dipping and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
