Ingredients
- 6 pieces Nori sheets (seaweed sheets)
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 large Avocado
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp or smoked salmon
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 60 ml Soy sauce (for serving)
- 30 grams Pickled ginger (optional)
- 10 grams Wasabi (optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel the cucumber and carrot if desired. Slice them into thin, long matchstick-sized strips. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Thinly slice the avocado into strips.
Step 2
2. Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Place one sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
Step 3
3. Assemble the filling: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Arrange slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and your chosen protein (shrimp or smoked salmon) in a horizontal line across the same section.
Step 4
4. Roll the sushi: Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, keeping the filling tightly packed. Apply gentle pressure with the mat to secure the roll. Continue rolling until you reach the end of the nori sheet.
Step 5
5. Seal the roll: Moisten the edge of the nori with a small amount of water to help seal the roll. Place the finished roll seam-side down to keep it intact.
Step 6
6. Repeat this process for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Step 7
7. Slice the rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Clean the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.
Step 8
8. Garnish the sushi rolls with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Step 9
9. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side, if desired. Enjoy your healthy low-carb riceless maki sushi rolls!
