Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 4 Nori sheets
- 8 sticks Imitation crab meat
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Sugar-free mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook 2 cups of cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes until it's slightly tender but not mushy.
Step 2
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, stir in 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and mix well. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Prepare the sushi fillings by slicing 1 cucumber and 1 avocado into thin strips approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Lay out one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 5
Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch margin at the top edge.
Step 6
Place 2 sticks of imitation crab meat, a few cucumber sticks, and avocado slices in a line on top of the cauliflower rice, about 1 inch from the bottom edge.
Step 7
Carefully roll the sushi away from you, using the mat to apply even pressure. Wet the top edge of the nori sheet with a little water to seal the roll.
Step 8
Continue with the remaining nori sheets until all are rolled and set aside.
Step 9
For the spicy mayo sauce, mix 1/4 cup of sugar-free mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce in a small bowl.
Step 10
Drizzle or serve the spicy mayo sauce along with the rolls. Optionally sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds on top.
Step 11
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
