Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 Nori sheets
• 1 small, julienned Cucumber
• 0.5 sliced Avocado
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, grate it or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. If using pre-packed cauliflower rice, proceed to the next step.

Step 2

In a pan over medium heat, lightly cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes to remove excess moisture. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Mix the cooked cauliflower rice with cream cheese in a bowl until the mixture is sticky and holds together.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or a piece of parchment paper, shiny side down.

Step 5

Spread half of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.

Step 6

Place julienned cucumber, avocado slices, and smoked salmon across the middle of the rice layer.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat or parchment paper, carefully roll the nori over the filling to form a tight sushi roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 8

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining nori sheet, rice mixture, and fillings.

Step 9

In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. Place the almond flour in another shallow dish.

Step 10

Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Dip each roll first in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll in almond flour to coat.

Step 12

Fry the rolls in coconut oil, turning to crisp all sides, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 14

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
