Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 5 sheets Nori sheets
Instructions
First, prepare the cauliflower rice. If you haven't already, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes until it's slightly dry but not browned.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the rice vinegar and salt. Mix well to combine and let it cool completely.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and the carrot. Julienne them into long, thin strips about the same width as the avocado slices.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge uncovered.
Lay a few strips of avocado, cucumber, and carrot horizontally across the center of the rice-covered nori sheet.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori sheet away from you, keeping the filling tightly packed as you go. Seal the edge by lightly moistening the uncovered strip of nori and pressing it against the rolled sushi.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Once all rolls are complete, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into six to eight pieces. For clean cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
