Ingredients

• 8 large pieces fresh scallops
• 4 whole sheets nori sheets
• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 whole avocado, sliced
• 0.5 whole cucumber, julienned
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower head using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.

Step 2

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the grated cauliflower to the pan. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and salt. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt.

Step 5

In a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sear the scallops for about 1 minute on each side or until just cooked through, then remove from heat to cool.

Step 6

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 7

Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge. Press gently to compact the 'rice'.

Step 8

Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 9

Arrange sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, two seared scallops, and scatter a sprinkle of scallions over the cream cheese.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, keeping the roll tight. Use a little water on the exposed edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients to create four rolls.

Step 12

Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 13

Garnish each roll with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Step 14

Serve immediately with additional soy sauce for dipping if desired.
