Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized Cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 5 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 small Carrot
• 10 pieces Cooked shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice grains.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, mix the cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 5

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel. Cut it into thin slices.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin, long strips.

Step 7

Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin matchstick pieces.

Step 8

To assemble the hand rolls, place a nori sheet shiny side down on a flat surface.

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the left half of the nori sheet, leaving about half an inch at the edges.

Step 10

Layer a few slices of avocado, cucumber, carrot, and two pieces of shrimp diagonally across the rice.

Step 11

Fold the bottom corner of the nori over the filling and roll into a cone shape, sealing with a dab of water.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 13

Serve the hand rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
