Directions
Step 1
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it has a rice-like texture.
Step 2
In a pan over medium heat, sauté the cauliflower rice with soy sauce for about 5 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and mix in the cream cheese, allowing it to melt and combine fully.

Cut each nori sheet into strips that are about 5 cm wide.
Step 5
Once the cauliflower mixture has cooled, shape small mounds (about 2 tablespoons each) using your hands.
Step 6
Wrap a nori strip around each cauliflower mound, using a little water to seal the edges if necessary.
Step 7
Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin, even slices.
Step 8
Top each Gunkan Maki with a slice of cucumber, a slice of avocado, and a slice of salmon sashimi.
Step 9
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
