Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 pieces Nori seaweed sheets
• 8 sticks Imitation crab meat
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 8 pieces Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by breaking the cauliflower into smaller florets. Place them in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice.

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl. Add the cream cheese and rice vinegar, mixing well until combined and the mixture holds together well.

Step 4

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 5

Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 6

Place 2 imitation crab sticks horizontally across the lower third of the rice.

Step 7

Cut the cucumber into thin strips and slice the avocado. Lay several cucumber strips and avocado slices alongside the crab sticks.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat to help, carefully roll the sushi, keeping it tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Step 9

Repeat the last four steps for the remaining ingredients to create three more rolls.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, carefully slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 11

Serve the Low Carb California Roll Sushi with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
