Making sushi is not as hard as you think. This cauliflower rice sushi is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and filled with flavor!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 4 raw nori sheets
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 2 spring onions
- 1/2 avocado
- Handful cilantro
- Optional: handful sunflower sprouts
Sweet and Spicy Sauce
- 2 medjool dates, soaked for 30 minutes
- 1 tbsp tahini
- Thumb-length piece of ginger, minced
- 1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp tamari
- 1/4 cup filtered water
- Squeeze of lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gently pulse cauliflower florets in food processor until it resembles rice.
- Slice remaining ingredients and arrange them on two-thirds of a nori sheet.
- Put a little water in a bowl and place it nearby. Start rolling and once you’re almost done, wet your finger and dab the end of the wrap fairly generously to seal it.
- Pop the roll into the fridge to let it settle.
- Repeat this process until you’ve used up your ingredients.
- Blend sauce ingredients, adding more water if necessary to make creamy.
Note: Let the sushi roll sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the moisture from the ingredients to soften the nori sheet and seal everything together nicely.
