Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Sashimi-grade tuna
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 0.5 pieces Cucumber
• 1 pieces Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 optional Soy sauce (for serving)
• 1 optional Pickled ginger (for serving)
• 1 optional Wasabi (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the cauliflower rice without oil for 3-5 minutes until it becomes dry and slightly golden. Allow it to cool.

Step 2

Once the cauliflower rice is cool, mix it with cream cheese and rice vinegar in a bowl to create a sticky texture similar to sushi rice.

Step 3

Dice the sashimi-grade tuna into small cubes and mix it with mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy tuna mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

Slice the cucumber into thin strips and cut the avocado into thin slices.

Step 5

Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat or clean flat surface. Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.

Step 6

Place a portion of the spicy tuna mixture, cucumber strips, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the rice-topped nori.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, tucking in the filling tightly as you go. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and accompanied by optional soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
