Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 Nori sheets
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0 optional, for serving Soy sauce
• 0 optional, for serving Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Stir halfway through for even cooking.

Step 4

Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly, then mix in the cream cheese and rice vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 5

Slice the cucumber into thin strips, and remove the pit and skin from the avocado, slicing it into thin strips as well.

Step 6

Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the plastic wrap in a square slightly larger than a nori sheet.

Step 7

Gently press a nori sheet onto the cauliflower rice. The nori should stick to the rice; ensure it is facing the side of the rice that will be rolled outward.

Step 8

Place a line of smoked salmon, cucumber strips, and avocado near the bottom edge of the exposed side of the nori sheet.

Step 9

Roll up the sushi, using the bamboo mat to keep the roll tight. Start at the edge with the fillings, rolling towards the other side. Keep a firm grip to ensure the roll stays compact.

Step 10

Once rolled, sprinkle sesame seeds evenly across the outside of the roll.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi, if desired.
