Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Avocado
• 100 grams Tofu, pressed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free version)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If starting with a whole head of cauliflower, use a food processor to pulse small florets into a rice-like texture. Measure out 2 cups of cauliflower rice.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and stir in the rice vinegar. Mix well to evenly coat the cauliflower rice and give it a tangy flavor reminiscent of sushi rice.

Step 3

Wash and peel the cucumber and carrot. Slice both into thin, long matchstick-like strips for easy rolling.

Step 4

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori on a flat surface or bamboo sushi mat (shiny side down). Spread 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice evenly over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top third empty for sealing the roll.

Step 6

Arrange slices of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and tofu horizontally across the center of the rice layer.

Step 7

Optional: Add a small dab of wasabi along the center, if you enjoy spicy flavors.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat or your hands, gently roll the nori sheet away from you, applying light pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge by lightly dampening the exposed nori with water and pressing it closed.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between slices to ensure clean cuts.

Step 11

Sprinkle the sushi pieces with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 12

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