Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 8 pieces Kani (imitation crab sticks)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Begin by steaming the cauliflower rice: Place it in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 3 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and mix in the rice vinegar. This will give it a slightly tangy, traditional sushi rice flavor. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice thinly. Peel the cucumber and slice into long, thin strips.

Step 4

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down. Spread 1/2 cup of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 5

Arrange several slices of avocado, two kani sticks, and cucumber strips in a straight line across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom of the nori.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat, slowly roll the nori and fillings away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight and firm. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining rice, nori, and fillings to create three more rolls.

Step 8

Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Clean the knife between slices for neat cuts.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce and wasabi paste on the side.
