Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 5 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Fresh cucumber
- 1 medium Fresh carrot
- 1 large Avocado
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
In a large pan over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's softened but not mushy.
Remove the cauliflower rice from heat, stir in the rice vinegar and sea salt, and set aside to cool slightly.
Peel and julienne the carrot, then slice the cucumber into long, thin strips. Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices.
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.
Spread a thin, even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Arrange a few strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and cooked shrimp along the edge closest to you.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with remaining nori sheets and fillings.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure smooth slicing.
Sprinkle the sushi rolls with toasted sesame seeds.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin strips to serve alongside the sushi rolls for an authentic touch.
