Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Place the cauliflower rice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly more translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the cauliflower rice has cooled slightly, transfer it to a bowl and mix in the rice vinegar and sea salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
Prepare the sushi roll fillings. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out of the skin. Cut the avocado into thin slices. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin matchstick pieces.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your fingers with a little water to prevent sticking, and spread approximately 1/2 cup of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot in a line along the bottom third of the rice layer.
Lift the bottom edge of the sushi mat and begin to roll it over the filling, pressing gently but firmly. Roll and press until you reach the end of the nori sheet, making sure the seam is on the bottom.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.
Once all rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Drizzle the slices with a bit of lemon juice for added freshness and enjoy immediately.
