Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 large Avocado
• 6 pieces Imitation crab sticks (or cooked crab meat)
• 1 small Cucumber
• 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Measure 1 cup of cauliflower rice and microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 3 to 4 minutes until tender.

Step 2

Once cooked, let the cauliflower rice cool slightly. Mix in 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to season. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips.

Step 4

Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and cut into julienne strips.

Step 5

Lay out a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap. Place one sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Lay avocado slices, cucumber strips, and 1.5 crab sticks (or an equivalent amount of crab meat) across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the ingredients into a tight log, applying gentle pressure as you roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls in total.

Step 9

For the spicy mayo sauce, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 10

Slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife.

Step 11

Sprinkle the rolls with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 12

Serve the rolls with soy sauce (or tamari) on the side, alongside the spicy mayo sauce for dipping.
