1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in rice vinegar and salt, mixing well. Let it cool to room temperature.
2. Prepare the Fillings: Cut the cucumber into thin julienne strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice each half into thin strips. Cut the salmon into thin strips as well.
3. Assemble the Hand Roll: Place one nori sheet shiny side down on a clean surface. Add a quarter of the cauliflower rice diagonally on the sheet, leaving an inch at the top and bottom corners.
4. Add Fillings: Layer a few strips each of salmon, cucumber, and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice.
5. Roll the Hand Roll: Carefully fold the bottom left corner over the filling to the center, then roll tightly towards the top right corner to create a cone shape.
6. Seal the Roll: Dab a little water on the top corner of the nori to seal the roll.
7. Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls. Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
