Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 sushi rolling mat
- 1 parchment paper
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and stem of the cauliflower. Chop the cauliflower into florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced ginger and saute for about 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, coconut aminos, and salt. Pour this mixture over the cauliflower rice while still in the skillet.
Continue to cook the cauliflower rice for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the cauliflower rice cool completely.
Once cooled, lay out the sushi rolling mat and place a sheet of parchment paper over it.
Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice evenly across the parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Now it's ready for your favorite Whole30-compliant sushi fillings. Roll tightly using the sushi mat and parchment paper.
Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Serve immediately.
