Ingredients

• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 small head Cauliflower
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 150 grams Smoked salmon
• 1 small Orange
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 50 grams Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Chop into chunks and pulse in a food processor until it resembles the texture of rice.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, steam the cauliflower rice for about 3-5 minutes or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly, then mix in the rice vinegar.

Step 3

Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 4

Cut the cucumber into long thin strips, removing the seeds if necessary.

Step 5

Peel the orange and separate into segments. Carefully slice each segment in half lengthwise to get thin slices.

Step 6

Lay out a bamboo sushi mat and place one sheet of nori on top, shiny side facing down.

Step 7

Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese across the cauliflower rice.

Step 9

Near the bottom edge of the nori, lay out a row of cucumber strips, avocado slices, and smoked salmon slices.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi starting from the bottom, tucking the ingredients in firmly. Wet the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Once all rolls are assembled, slice each into 8 bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 13

Top each piece with a sliver of orange for a refreshing citrus touch. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture.

Step 14

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