Why Cauliflower Rice?
Cauliflower rice has rapidly become a superstar in modern culinary trends. Packed with essential vitamins like Vitamin C, K, and B6, fiber-rich cauliflower supports digestion and promotes overall gut health. Its low-carb content aligns perfectly with keto, paleo, and gluten-free diets, making it a versatile, health-conscious alternative to traditional sushi rice.
Decadent Cream Cheese Filling
Cream cheese introduces a rich, silky element to your sushi experience. Its smooth, luxurious texture paired with subtle tanginess creates a delectable contrast with the crisp freshness of the vegetables and the delicate taste of cauliflower rice. Cream cheese also provides beneficial calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle maintenance.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for added richness)
- Nori sheets
- Fresh cucumber strips
- Avocado slices
- Smoked salmon or imitation crab (optional)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Soy sauce or coconut aminos (for dipping)
- Pickled ginger and wasabi (optional garnishes)
Preparation Steps:
- Make Cauliflower Rice: Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until rice-sized granules form. Steam gently until tender, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then combine with rice vinegar and sesame oil.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mix: Whisk cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. For an indulgent touch, mix in mayonnaise until thoroughly combined.
- Assemble Your Sushi Rolls: Lay out your nori sheets. Spread a thin, even layer of cauliflower rice across each sheet. Smooth a layer of cream cheese over the cauliflower rice, then arrange avocado, cucumber, and protein of choice in a neat line.
- Rolling the Sushi: Using a bamboo sushi mat, gently roll your nori sheet into a compact cylinder, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
- Finishing Touches: Slice your rolls carefully into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds for an irresistible nutty crunch.
