Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 3 ounces Fresh tuna (sashimi-grade), diced
• 0.5 Avocado, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cucumber, julienned
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, lightly cook the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it softens and any excess moisture evaporates.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl and add rice vinegar and salt. Mix gently to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a sushi mat or a clean flat surface.

Step 4

Spread half of the cooled cauliflower rice evenly across the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge clear.

Step 5

Layer half of the diced tuna, sliced avocado, and cucumber in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the nori sheet.

Step 6

Use the sushi mat to tightly roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing gently to seal. Use a little water on the clear edge to seal the roll completely.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the second sheet of nori and remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to keep slices clean.

Step 9

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, and optional wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side.
