Ingredients

• 200 grams Unagi (grilled eel)
• 200 grams Cauliflower rice
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a medium saucepan, add the cauliflower rice and cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh from the skin. Cut it into thin slices. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a bamboo sushi mat and place a nori sheet on top with the shiny side facing down.

Step 4

Spread half of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 2 inches at the top edge bare.

Step 5

Place half of the cream cheese in a line across the center of the rice. Layer half of the avocado slices, half of the cucumber strips, and half of the unagi slices on top of the cream cheese.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat as a guide, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, keeping the fillings tightly packed. Dampen the top bare edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll shut.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once both rolls are complete, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 9

Arrange the slices on a serving plate and sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
