Ingredients

• 4 oz Sashimi-grade tuna
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Sriracha
• 1 small Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 Nori sheets
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tbsp Water
• 2 cups Neutral oil (for frying)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the spicy tuna filling: Finely dice the sashimi-grade tuna and place it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise and sriracha, then mix until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 2

2. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips for easy rolling.

Step 3

3. Cook the cauliflower rice: Steam or microwave the cauliflower rice until tender. Once cooled slightly, mix it with cream cheese to help it bind.

Step 4

4. Assemble the rolls: Lay a nori sheet on a flat surface with the shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch gap at the top. Arrange slices of cucumber, avocado, and the spicy tuna mixture horizontally across the center.

Step 5

5. Roll the sushi: Using a sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori tightly around the filling. Use a little water to seal the edge. Repeat with the second nori sheet.

Step 6

6. Prepare the tempura batter: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, eggs, and water until a smooth batter forms.

Step 7

7. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the neutral oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

8. Fry the rolls: Dip each sushi roll into the almond flour batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully lower the roll into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

9. Slice and serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce or tamari on the side, if desired.
