Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened, optional for texture)
• 4 sheets Nori sheets (roasted seaweed)
• 6 ounces Sushi-grade tuna (finely diced or minced)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 0.5 medium cucumber Cucumber (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium avocado Avocado (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari (for serving, optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
• 2 sheets Plastic wrap (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: If using pre-riced cauliflower, sauté it in a nonstick pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the moisture is cooked out. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 2

Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with the softened cream cheese (if using) to help bind it together and achieve a sticky texture similar to traditional sushi rice.

Step 3

Prepare the spicy tuna mixture: In a small bowl, mix the minced sushi-grade tuna, mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until well combined. Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less sriracha. Set aside.

Step 4

Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a piece of plastic wrap. Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice across the sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge of the nori for sealing the roll.

Step 5

Arrange thin slices of cucumber and avocado horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice. Spoon a generous portion of the spicy tuna mixture on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

Using the plastic wrap as a guide, gently roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, keeping the filling tightly packed. Wet the uncovered edge of the nori with a small amount of water and seal the roll.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 8

Once all the rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 9

Garnish the rolls with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping.
