Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Swerve (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Fresh Hamachi (Yellowtail)
• 1 small Nori sheets
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves and the core from the cauliflower. Chop it into small florets.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble small grains of rice.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. Microwave for about 4-5 minutes until tender.

Step 4

Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar, Swerve, and salt. Mix well to combine and let the flavors meld for a few minutes.

Step 6

Cut the nori sheet into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide and set aside.

Step 7

Take a small amount of the cauliflower rice (roughly 1 tablespoon) and shape it into a small oblong piece about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide using your hands.

Step 8

Repeat the shaping with the remaining cauliflower rice to make a total of 8 pieces.

Step 9

Gently place one slice of Hamachi over each piece of cauliflower 'rice'.

Step 10

Dab a small amount of wasabi between the fish and the 'rice' if desired.

Step 11

Wrap a small strip of nori around the middle of each nigiri piece to secure the fish to the cauliflower base.

Step 12

Serve the keto Hamachi nigiri immediately with soy sauce or tamari and pickled ginger on the side.
