Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 4 ounces Salmon roe (Ikura)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 whole Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and stir occasionally for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes tender and evapors any excess moisture. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice with cream cheese, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky, resembling sushi rice. Season with sea salt to taste.

Step 3

Cut each nori sheet into 4 equal strips using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

Step 4

Peel and slice the avocado into thin pieces. Chop the chives finely.

Step 5

To assemble the sushi, take a strip of nori and place it with the rough side facing up. Apply a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture across the center, leaving space at the ends for rolling.

Step 6

Place a small dollop of salmon roe on the cauliflower rice layer, followed by a couple of avocado slices. Carefully roll the nori to form a cylinder, moistening the edge with a little water to seal it.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining nori strips and ingredients.

Step 8

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 9

Garnish each sushi piece with a sprinkle of chopped chives and a small spoonful of salmon roe on top.

Step 10

Serve the keto salmon roe sushi immediately with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
