Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, sliced thinly
• 1 cup Spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower head into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they achieve a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until tender. Season with salt and remove from heat to cool.

Step 3

Meanwhile, julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour the eggs to make a thin omelette. Cook until set, then transfer to a cutting board and slice into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay down one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a quarter of the cauliflower rice evenly on the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Step 6

Arrange an assortment of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, omelette strips, sliced chicken, and spinach leaves at the lower third of the rice layer.

Step 7

Drizzle a small amount of tamari or soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables and chicken.

Step 8

Use the sushi mat to tightly roll the nori sheet over the fillings into a log shape. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 1-inch thick pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately with additional tamari or soy sauce for dipping.
