Ingredients

For the Sushi:

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets chopped and riced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to season the cauliflower rice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar adds tangy flavor
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sugar for sweetness
  • 2 sheets Nori seaweed sheets for wrapping
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise opt for avocado mayonnaise for healthier choice
  • 1/4 cup sushi-grade salmon or protein of choice
  • 1/2 small cucumber sliced into strips
  • 1/8 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 serving wasabi optional

Instructions

Method:

  • Begin by chopping your cauliflower into florets. Add them to a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture.
  • Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Add the salt, white vinegar, and sugar-free powdered sugar. Mix well and microwave for about 5 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
  • Lay a sheet of Nori on your sushi mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, take a handful of cauliflower rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
  • In the center of the rice, layer your mayonnaise, sushi-grade salmon, and cucumber strips.
  • Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Wet the exposed edge of the nori to seal the roll.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with wasabi on the side if desired.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Sushi Mat (Bamboo Mat)

Notes

  • Ensure your cauliflower is well-drained after cooking to avoid soggy sushi.
  • Experiment with different proteins like shrimp, crab, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • For extra flavor, add a drizzle of low-carb soy sauce or tamari when serving.
