Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower rice store bought or homemade
- ¼ cup grated parmesan or a mild hard cheese or cream cheese
- 8 ounces sushi-grade salmon
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 small carrot
- 3 sheets nori seaweed
- optional sesame seeds
For Serving
- Wasabi paste
- soy sauce
Instructions
- Cook the cauliflower rice for several minutes until tender by steaming or boiling (pulverize your own cauliflower in a food processor or use store bought). Drain completely.
- Mix the grated cheese with the hot cauliflower rice to make it slightly sticky like regular rice.
- Cut the salmon into strips approximately ¼-inch thick.
- Lay out the bamboo mat with an optional piece of plastic wrap on top
- Cut off 1/3 of the nori seaweed sheet using kitchen scissors. Then place the remaining nori sheet towards the bottom of the mat, shining side facing down.
- Take 1 cup of cauliflower rice mixture and evenly spread over nori while leaving 1/2 inch at the top of the sheet.
- Place salmon, carrots, and avocado slices on top. Make sure not to add too much filling or your roll won’t seal properly.
- Place the thumbs underneath the bamboo mat and lift the edge up and over the filling.
- Roll the bamboo mat away from you and press the cauliflower rice and filling together. Use the bamboo mat to continue rolling until reaching the blank nori on the edge.
- Peeling the mat back away as you continue to roll, so that the nori can be rolled into a cylinder. Press the mat gently so that the roll won’t fall apart when you cut it.
- Place the roll on a cutting board and use a long sharp knife to cut off the edges on each side. Then cut each roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with optional soy sauce and wasabi.
