Ingredients
Cauliflower Rice
- 1 small cauliflower
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Sushi Filling
- 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced into strips
- 1/2 avocado thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot thinly sliced into strips
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced into strips
- 3 sheets nori (seaweed)
Assembling
- a bamboo sushi rolling mat
- plastic wrap
- soy sauce for dipping
- pickled ginger (optional)
- wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and remove the tough stem.
- Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower until it resembles the texture of rice grains. Be careful not to over-process; you want it to have a rice-like consistency.
- Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Drizzle this mixture over the cauliflower rice and toss to combine. Set aside.
Prepare the Sushi Fillings:
- Slice all your preferred fillings into thin strips. You can also add other ingredients like cooked shrimp, smoked salmon, or tofu if desired.
Assemble the Sushi:
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. This will prevent the cauliflower rice from sticking to the mat.
- Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, onto the plastic-covered rolling mat.
- Wet your fingers to prevent the cauliflower rice from sticking and spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving about half an inch of nori at the top free.
- Arrange your desired fillings in a line across the center of the rice.
- Carefully lift the bamboo mat's edge closest to you and start rolling the nori and fillings away from you. Apply gentle pressure to shape the sushi roll.
- Continue rolling until you reach the exposed nori. Wet the nori edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in water to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
Serve:
- Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate, and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.Enjoy your homemade raw cauliflower rice sushi! You can get creative with the fillings and even dip the rolls in a little soy sauce for added flavor.
