Ingredients

• 250 grams Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Granulated erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets (full size)
• 200 grams Sashimi-grade salmon or tuna (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cups Cucumber (julienned)
• 1 whole Avocado (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (finely sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free for low-carb)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking it in a microwave or steaming it for 3-5 minutes until tender but not mushy. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, granulated erythritol, and salt until dissolved.

Step 3

Stir the vinegar mixture into the cooked cauliflower rice, mixing thoroughly to mimic sushi rice's taste. Allow it to cool completely before use.

Step 4

Lay a nori sheet shiny side down and cut it in half to get two rectangular pieces.

Step 5

On one corner of the nori sheet, place a small portion of the seasoned cauliflower rice (about 2 tablespoons) and gently spread it out. Be careful not to overfill the sheet.

Step 6

Layer thin slices of sashimi-grade salmon or tuna, julienned cucumber, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of green onions onto the rice.

Step 7

Carefully fold and roll the nori sheet into a cone shape, starting from the corner with the ingredients and rolling diagonally toward the opposite corner. Use a small dab of water to seal the edge of the nori if needed.

Step 8

Repeat with remaining ingredients to create additional hand rolls.

Step 9

Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari, pickled ginger, and a small dab of wasabi on the side if desired.
