Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 sheets nori
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • Soy sauce or tamari for dipping
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add cauliflower florets and fry until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  2. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice gently.
  4. Assemble the Sushi Rolls: Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Arrange crispy cauliflower, avocado, and cucumber along the bottom edge.
  5. Roll the Sushi: Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
  6. Slice and Serve: Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce or tamari for dipping and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
