Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons Cream Cheese
• 4 sheets Nori Sheets
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 100 grams Smoked Salmon
• 2 tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled Ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets.

Step 2

Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice-sized grains.

Step 3

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl and mix in the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 6

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge uncovered.

Step 7

Lay a few pieces of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon on the rice at the bottom edge nearest to you.

Step 8

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight as you go. Continue to roll until you've reached the uncovered edge of the nori.

Step 9

Wet the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 10

Sprinkle black sesame seeds evenly over the top of the roll.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
