    Cauliflower Rice Sushi Bowls

    Published: Aug 17, 2017 · Updated: Apr 7, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This almost-instant cauliflower rice sushi bowl features a typical trio used in veggie sushi — carrots, cucumber, and avocado. You get all the flavor of sushi with the lightened-up base of frozen riced cauliflower. Serve as a light dinner with a simple tofu dish, or pack in a container for a change-of-pace lunch.

    Makes: 2 bowls

    What you need

    For the cauliflower rice:

    • 16-ounce bag frozen riced cauliflower, complete thawed
    • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or other mild vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon natural granulated sugar or agave nectar
    • Pinch of salt
    • 6 or so pieces nori seaweed snack

    Toppings:

    • Pitted, peeled, and finely diced avocado
    • Thinly sliced kirby cucumber
    • Pre-grated carrots
    • More nori seaweed snack, thinly sliced
    • Sesame seeds (optional)
    • Pickled ginger (optional)
    • Soy sauce or tamari to taste

    What to do

    1  Combine the cauliflower rice with the vinegar, sugar, salt in a mixing bowl.

    2  Use kitchen shears to cut the nori into short narrow strips and stir into the cauliflower rice.

    3  Divide the cauliflower rice mixture between two bowls. Arrange over it you toppings; no need to measure, just arrange what fits.

    4  Scatter a little more seaweed snack over the vegetables, followed by sesame seeds and/or ginger, if you plan to use them.

    5  Serve at once; drizzle in soy sauce or tamari to taste, for the individual servings.

      Sounds great, but is there a way to make cauliflower rice from scratch using freshly-picked cauliflower from the garden?
