Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar (compliant, optional)
- 1 cup Cooked lump crab meat
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 4 Nori sheets
- 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender and moisture has evaporated. If desired, add rice vinegar for a tangy, sushi rice-like flavor. Set aside to cool.
While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the spicy mayo by whisking together the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil (if using), and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your spice preference. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the cucumber into matchsticks. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Place a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over 3/4 of the nori sheet, leaving the top edge free for sealing.
Arrange a small amount of crab meat, cucumber sticks, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice layer.
Using the sushi mat or towel, carefully roll the nori tightly over the filling, pressing gently to shape it into a log. Use a tiny bit of water to seal the edge of the nori once rolled.
Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife blade between cuts for cleaner slices.
Drizzle or serve the spicy mayo alongside the crab rolls. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Crab Roll!
