Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Imitation crab meat or cooked shrimp, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 sheets Nori sheets, crushed
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1 Cucumber, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat with a pinch of salt until it's softened and most of the moisture is evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the rice vinegar. Spread the cauliflower rice evenly in the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 4
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the chopped imitation crab meat or shrimp, soy sauce, and sriracha. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cauliflower rice in the baking dish.
Step 6
Crush the nori sheets and sprinkle them over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Add the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, toasted sesame seeds, and sliced green onions over the top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing it like a casserole.
Step 9
Serve warm, topping with extra sriracha or soy sauce as desired.
