Ingredients

• 200 g White fish (sashimi-grade, such as cod, halibut, or seabass)
• 200 g Cauliflower rice
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Powdered erythritol (or keto-friendly sweetener)
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 piece Nori sheet (optional, for garnish or binding)
• 1 tsp Wasabi paste
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the cauliflower 'rice': Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes until it is tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

2. Season the 'rice': Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl. Stir in the rice vinegar, powdered erythritol, and salt until well combined and slightly sticky. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 3

3. Slice the white fish: Using a very sharp knife, slice the sashimi-grade white fish into uniform pieces, about 2.5 inches long and 1 inch wide. Aim for thin and even slices for better presentation.

Step 4

4. Assemble the nigiri: Take a small amount of the cauliflower rice (roughly the size of a ping pong ball) and form it into a compact oval-shaped mound with your hands. Press gently but firmly to ensure it holds its shape.

Step 5

5. Add a dab of wasabi: Spread a small amount of wasabi on one side of a white fish slice for extra flavor, then place the fish slice on top of the cauliflower rice mound, wasabi-side touching the 'rice'.

Step 6

6. Repeat: Continue assembling until all the fish and cauliflower rice have been used.

Step 7

7. Optional garnish: Cut thin strips of nori and wrap them around the nigiri for a decorative and functional touch, if desired.

Step 8

8. Serve: Arrange the Keto White Fish Nigiri on a platter and serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping.
