Ingredients
- 150 grams Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 100 grams Salmon roe
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 small Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 20 grams Pickled ginger
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 2
Once cooled, add rice vinegar and soy sauce to the cauliflower rice. Mix well with a wooden spatula to ensure even seasoning.
Step 3
Cut the nori sheets in half, so you have four smaller strips. These will serve as the base for the sushi.
Step 4
Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips, roughly the length of the nori sheets.
Step 5
Take a strip of nori and spread a small layer (about 2 tablespoons) of seasoned cauliflower rice onto it, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 6
Place a strip of cucumber and avocado on one end of the nori, then top with a generous spoonful of salmon roe.
Step 7
Using wet fingertips, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, forming a cylindrical shape. Use gentle pressure to ensure the roll holds together.
Step 8
Seal the edge of the nori by moistening it slightly with water.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make all pieces of sushi.
Step 10
Arrange the sushi on a serving platter. Serve alongside wasabi, pickled ginger, and additional soy sauce for dipping.
