Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 Nori sheets
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari)
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower florets into rice-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Stir in cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt into the warm cauliflower rice until well combined and creamy. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Cut the avocado into thin slices.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber, and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and then cut into thin long strips.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and top it with a piece of plastic wrap. Lay down one nori sheet, shiny side down.

Step 7

Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top free of rice.

Step 8

Lay avocado slices and cucumber strips horizontally across the rice-covered nori, about 1.5 inches up from the bottom edge.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi from the bottom, keeping the filling tightly packed while rolling towards the top free edge.

Step 10

Wet the nori-free edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheet and filling ingredients.

Step 12

Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 13

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls before serving and optionally serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
