Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Mirin (sugar-free, if available)
• 1 teaspoon Sweetener (granulated, keto-friendly like erythritol or monk fruit)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 sheet Nori seaweed sheets
• 1 teaspoon Avocado oil (or neutral cooking oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chives

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming it for 3-4 minutes until tender and then allowing it to cool slightly. Mix the rice vinegar and salt into the cauliflower rice to give it a sushi rice-like flavor. Set aside.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the soy sauce, mirin, and sweetener until fully combined.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the avocado oil to lightly coat the surface.

Step 4

Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Allow the egg mixture to set but not fully cook through, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Using a spatula, carefully roll the cooked egg layer to one side of the pan. Pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the pan, letting it flow underneath the rolled egg. Once semi-cooked, roll the first egg layer over the new layer. Repeat this process until all of the egg mixture is used, creating a tamago omelet.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked tamago omelet to a cutting board and let it cool slightly. Slice into rectangular pieces roughly the same size as a small sushi block.

Step 7

Assemble the sushi by shaping small handfuls of seasoned cauliflower rice into oval shapes (about the size of your palm). Gently press to compact and smooth the rice base.

Step 8

Place a slice of tamago omelet onto each rice oval. Optionally, cut thin strips of nori and wrap them around the middle of each sushi piece to secure.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds or finely chopped chives on top as an optional garnish.

Step 10

Serve fresh and enjoy your low-carb tamago sushi!
