Ingredients

• 1 large Cauliflower head
• 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 4 full Nori sheets
• 200 grams Crab meat or imitation crab
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a sauté pan and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is soft and any released moisture evaporates.

Step 3

Remove the cooked cauliflower from the heat and stir in the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky like sushi rice. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

While the cauliflower mixture is cooling, prepare the other ingredients. Cut the crab meat or imitation crab into thin strips.

Step 5

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut it into thin slices.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and cut into thin strips to match the size of the crab.

Step 7

Place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or clean flat surface.

Step 8

Spread an even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice mixture over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top for sealing the roll.

Step 9

Lay a few strips of crab, avocado, and cucumber across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, tucking them tightly as you go. Wet the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 12

Once all rolls are prepared, sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces.

Step 13

Serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping.
