Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar substitute
• 4 nori sheets
• 150 grams smoked salmon
• 1 sliced avocado
• 1 small, julienned cucumber
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into florets and grate them into rice-sized granules using a food processor or grater.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for about 5 minutes while stirring until it becomes slightly tender.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and stir in the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and sugar substitute until well combined. Allow to cool.

Step 4

Place a nori sheet on a sushi mat with the rough side facing up.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Arrange a strip of smoked salmon, a slice of avocado, and a few pieces of cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 7

Starting from the bottom, use the sushi mat to roll the nori tightly over the filling, pressing gently to secure. Continue rolling until the entire sheet is rolled, sealing with a little water if needed.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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