Equipment

Box grater or food processor
Microwave-safe bowl
Bamboo sushi mat or parchment paper
Sharp knife

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower riced, about 1 pound / 450g
2 tablespoons cream cheese softened, 1 oz / 30g
1 tablespoon rice vinegar 0.5 oz / 15ml
1 teaspoon erythritol optional, 0.2 oz / 5g
¼ teaspoon salt 0.04 oz / 1g
4 sheets nori seaweed
½ cucumber julienned, 3.5 oz / 100g
1 avocado sliced, 7 oz / 200g
4 ounces smoked salmon sliced, 113g
1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional, 0.5 oz / 14g

Instructions

Begin by ricing the cauliflower. Remove the stem and leaves, and grate the cauliflower florets using a box grater or food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly.
Mix in the softened cream cheese, rice vinegar, erythritol (if using), and salt with the cauliflower until well combined. This will be your "sushi rice."
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of parchment paper.
Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon horizontally across the cauliflower rice.
Start rolling the nori tightly from the bottom using the sushi mat or parchment paper to help. Wet the top inch of the nori with a little water to help it seal the roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wet the knife between cuts for cleaner slices.
Repeat steps 4-8 for the remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls for garnish if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize your sushi rolls with other low-carb fillings such as cream cheese, shredded chicken, or thinly sliced bell peppers.

If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can steam the riced cauliflower instead.

Ensure your cauliflower rice is cool to the touch before spreading on the nori to prevent it from becoming soggy.

For added flavor, you can mix a little wasabi or keto-friendly soy sauce (tamari) into your cauliflower rice mixture.
