Ingredients

• 4 ounces Yellowtail (sushi-grade, sliced into strips)
• 4 sheets Nori sheets (dried seaweed, cut in half)
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice (cooked and cooled)
• 0.5 Cucumber (sliced into thin matchsticks)
• 0.5 Avocado (sliced thinly)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (low sodium, optionally for dipping)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice by cooking it according to your preference (steam, microwave, or sauté). Allow it to cool, then mix in 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar to lightly season it.

Step 2

Slice the cucumber into thin matchsticks, the avocado into thin slices, and the green onions into small, thin rounds. Set aside for assembly.

Step 3

Place a half-sheet of nori shiny side down on a cutting board or clean, flat surface.

Step 4

Spread about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned cauliflower rice onto one side of the nori, pressing it down gently and leaving about a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.

Step 5

Add a few strips of yellowtail, a couple of cucumber matchsticks, a slice or two of avocado, and a sprinkle of green onions on top of the cauliflower rice.

Step 6

Starting from the edge with the fillings, roll the nori into a cone shape, using a dab of water to seal the edge of the nori at the top.

Step 7

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 8

Sprinkle the finished rolls with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with soy sauce or tamari for dipping, along with optional pickled ginger and wasabi for added flavor.
