Ingredients
- 4 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
- 1 piece Large cucumber
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Pat the strips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Lay one sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
Step 4
Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese (if using) onto the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Step 5
Place cucumber and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the nori sheet.
Step 6
Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the filling.
Step 7
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, applying gentle pressure to create a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the 1-inch border.
Step 8
Moisten the border with a little water to seal the roll.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Step 10
Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Step 11
Serve the low-carb avocado and cucumber sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping.
