Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cauliflower rice (cooked and cooled)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (unsweetened)
  • 4 nori sheets
  • 200g fresh sushi-grade salmon (or smoked salmon)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 1 small cucumber (julienned)
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
  • soy sauce or tamari (for dipping)
  • Wasabi and pickled ginger (optional, for serving)

Equipment

  • 1 Bamboo sushi mat
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Small bowl
  • 1 Plastic wrap
  • 1 Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. To Make Cauliflower Rice: Cook the cauliflower rice until tender and let it cool. Blend in rice vinegar to add the real taste of sushi rice.
  2. Lay Nori Sheet: Spread a bamboo sushi mat on the flat surface, cover it with plastic wrap and lay 1 nori sheet on top.
  3. Spread the Rice: Spread the cauliflower rice in an even layer over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch clear at the top end.
  4. Add Fillings: Place fresh salmon slices, avocado, cucumber strips, and cream cheese in the center of the rice layer.
  5. Roll the Sushi: Pick up your bamboo mat, and start rolling from the bottom to the top very tightly using your hands and gently pressing it as you go.
  6. Slice and Serve: Wet a sharp knife, slice into bite-sized rolls and serve with soy sauce, wasabi or ginger.

Notes

  • Make this with cooled downed cauliflower rice to prevent mushiness.
  • Use a wet knife when cutting to avoid sticking.
  • If you’re new to sushi rolling, start with smaller rolls.
  • Opt for smoked salmon to keep it away from raw.
  • Tight roll for presentation.
