Ingredients

• 6 sheets Nori seaweed sheets (full-size)
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice (lightly steamed and cooled)
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
• 1 medium Cucumber (cut into thin strips)
• 1 medium Carrot (cut into thin strips)
• 6 pieces Imitation crab sticks or cooked shrimp
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: Lightly steam the cauliflower rice until just tender (approximately 3 minutes), then allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Season the cauliflower rice: Stir in the rice vinegar to give the cauliflower rice a slightly tangy flavor, mimicking traditional sushi rice.

Step 3

Cut the vegetables: Slice the avocado, cucumber, and carrot into thin, even strips to make them easy to roll in the nori sheets.

Step 4

Prepare the nori: Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean surface or sushi rolling mat.

Step 5

Assemble the temaki: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of cauliflower rice onto one end of the nori sheet, forming a small mound.

Step 6

Layer the fillings: Add a slice of avocado, a few strips of cucumber and carrot, and one piece of imitation crab or shrimp on top of the cauliflower rice.

Step 7

Roll the temaki: Fold the nori into a cone shape (like an ice cream cone), ensuring the fillings are secure and the edge of the nori seals well. You can dab a little water on the edges to help it stick if needed.

Step 8

Repeat the process: Assemble the remaining 5 temaki sushi cones following the same steps.

Step 9

Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for dipping.
