Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 200 grams sliced smoked salmon
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon wasabi
• 50 grams pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until it resembles rice grains.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes or until it is tender. Stir it occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl and mix in the rice vinegar. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 4

Prepare your vegetables by peeling and cutting the cucumber into thin strips and slicing the avocado thinly.

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay a nori sheet on top.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered on the top edge.

Step 7

Add a layer of smoked salmon, followed by a few strips of cucumber, a slice of avocado, and a spoonful of cream cheese along the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the sushi mat as a guide, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, pressing gently to ensure a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the uncovered edge of the nori.

Step 9

Dampen the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water and press to seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife clean with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 12

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