Ingredients

• 150 grams Cauliflower rice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 piece English cucumber, julienned
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced
• 100 grams Imitation crab meat or cooked shrimp
• 0 optional Soy sauce or tamari (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Do not over-process.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Once cooled, stir in the rice vinegar and cream cheese until well combined. The cream cheese will help bind the cauliflower rice mixture.

Step 4

Lay out a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of nori on top with the shiny side down.

Step 5

Using damp hands to prevent sticking, spread a thin even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.

Step 6

Arrange the julienned cucumber, sliced avocado, and crab meat (or cooked shrimp) in a line across the center of the sheet.

Step 7

Carefully lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and roll it over the fillings, gently pressing to keep everything in place as you roll.

Step 8

Continue rolling until the exposed edge of the nori seals the roll. You can use a little water on the edge to help seal it, if necessary.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Serve the keto California rolls with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, if desired.
