Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, grate it finely or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles small grains of rice. Alternatively, you can use store-bought cauliflower rice.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and toast for 3-5 minutes until it's slightly crispy. Add the rice vinegar and salt, stir well, and then remove from heat. Allow it to cool.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips. Thinly slice the cucumber and carrot into matchsticks.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap. Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over 3/4 of the nori sheet, leaving the top 1/4 of the sheet empty.
Align avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and carrot sticks horizontally across the middle of the rice-covered area, ensuring even distribution.
Sprinkle fish roe over the vegetable layer for added flavor and texture.
Gently lift the edge of the sushi mat or plastic wrap closest to you, and begin rolling the nori over the filling, applying gentle but even pressure as you roll. Use the mat to shape the roll tightly.
Seal the edge with a bit of water to make the nori stick, then gently transfer the roll to a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls immediately with coconut aminos for dipping, and optionally with pickled ginger on the side.
