Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 unit Avocado
• 0.25 unit Cucumber
• 3 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Crushed pork rinds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is just tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and rice vinegar until smooth. Stir this mixture into the cooled cauliflower rice to make a sticky rice substitute.

Step 3

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.

Step 4

Spread half of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch uncovered at the top edge.

Step 5

Cut the avocado into thin slices. Slice the cucumber into matchstick pieces.

Step 6

Layer half of the avocado slices, cucumber sticks, and smoked salmon across the center of the rice, horizontally.

Step 7

Roll the nori tightly over the filling, using the sushi mat to apply even pressure as you roll, until you reach the uncovered edge.

Step 8

Seal the roll by dampening the uncovered nori edge with a little water and pressing to close the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.

Step 10

Spread the crushed pork rinds and sesame seeds over a flat plate. Gently roll the completed sushi rolls in this mixture to coat them lightly, adding a crunchy texture.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6 to 8 slices. Serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
