Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Hamachi (Yellowtail) fillet, skinless
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 1 small dollop Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If you have whole cauliflower, first cut the cauliflower into small florets, and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and season with salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly.
While the cauliflower rice cools, slice the Hamachi fillet into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for 12 equal slices.
Cut the nori sheet into small strips, about 1/4 inch wide and 3 inches long. These will be used to secure the nigiri together.
To assemble the nigiri, take about 1 tablespoon of cooled cauliflower rice and shape it into a small oval mound with your hands.
Place a slice of Hamachi over each mound of cauliflower rice.
Wrap a strip of nori around the middle of the nigiri, sealing it underneath by lightly moistening the ends with water, if necessary.
Optionally, add a small dollop of wasabi on top of each nigiri.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Hamachi Nigiri!
