Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 medium Carrots
• 3 large Eggs
• 100 grams Spinach
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 5 sheets Nori sheets
• 5 sticks Crab sticks (optional)
• 100 grams Beef slices (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Step 2

In a large pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and stir in the sesame oil. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: peel and julienne the carrots, slice the cucumber into thin strips, and wash and blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to cold water, drain, and season with a pinch of salt.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a little oil, and cook the beaten eggs to make a thin omelette. Once done, let cool and slice into strips.

Step 5

If using, cook the beef slices in a hot pan with soy sauce and a pinch of pepper until browned. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 2 inches at the top without rice.

Step 7

Lay the spinach, carrot, cucumber, egg strips, and either crab sticks or cooked beef in a line across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Lift the bamboo mat from the edge closest to you and carefully roll it over the filling, pressing gently to shape. Continue rolling until the entire sheet is wrapped and sealed. Use a little water on the edge to seal if necessary.

Step 9

Repeat for the remaining sheets.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. For best results, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Serve the keto gimbap as a snack or light meal.
