Ingredients
- 150 grams Cauliflower rice
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 200 grams Tuna
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions
- 1 medium Sliced avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains.
Step 2
In a non-stick frying pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat for about 5 minutes, just until tender. Stir in the rice vinegar and salt. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Cut the nori sheets into strips approximately 2 inches wide and 5 inches long.
Step 4
Prepare the tuna tartare. Cut the tuna into small cubes and place in a bowl.
Step 5
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped scallions to the tuna. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Step 6
To assemble the Gunkan Maki, take a strip of nori and form it into a cylinder shape by wrapping it around a small mound of cauli-rice, about 1 tablespoon. Ensure the strip is slightly higher than the rice to create a well.
Step 7
Fill the well with a generous spoonful of tuna tartare and top with a slice of avocado.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Step 9
Garnish each Gunkan Maki with a small dollop of wasabi paste and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Gunkan Maki!
