Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 4 oz Fresh sushi-grade tuna
• 4 oz Fresh sushi-grade salmon
• 2 tbsp Fish roe (tobiko or masago)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (for serving)
• 1 tsp Wasabi
• 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming the cauliflower in a microwave or steamer until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once cooked, drain any excess moisture from the cauliflower rice and let it cool.

Step 3

Lay a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it.

Step 4

Place one nori sheet on top of the plastic wrap, shiny side down.

Step 5

Spread half of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 6

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice thinly.

Step 7

Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks.

Step 8

On the bottom third of the cauliflower-covered nori, lay out a few slices of avocado, cucumber matchsticks, and a thin strip of cream cheese.

Step 9

Place pieces of tuna and salmon over the veggies.

Step 10

Lift the bamboo mat at the edge closest to you and start rolling it over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly, to create a tight roll.

Step 11

Wet the 1-inch border of nori at the top to seal the roll.

Step 12

Repeat the above steps with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.

Step 13

Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, damp knife.

Step 14

Top each sushi piece with a small amount of fish roe.

Step 15

Serve the dragon sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
