Sushi

Creation Time: 15 minutes 


Serving size: 3-4 sushi logs 


Ingredients: 

• Crab meat
• One head of cauliflower
• Nori Seaweed (WholeFoods $5 for 10 sheets) 
• One cucumber
• One avocado
• Natural wasabi powder 
• Coconut aminos 

You can exchange or add any meat, fish/seafood, or vegetable you want and this will taste great. I recommended eating this fresh so the nori seaweed paper does not get soggy. 

Directions:

1. Rinse cauliflower, and grate with a cheese grater. Discard stems.
2. Saute cauliflower in 1/2 a tablespoon coconut or olive oil for 5-7 minutes on medium heat. Let cool
3. Thinly slice cucumber and avocado.
4. Place a sheet of seaweed onto a cutting board, and cover 2/3 (starting with end closest to you) with a thin layer of cauliflower.
5. 1/2 inch from the edge of seaweed closest to you, place a row of cucumber, avocado, and crab meat.
6. Carefully roll sushi until you have an inch of seaweed left. Wet the remaining seaweed with water to seal the roll.
7. Slice sushi roll into 1 inch slices.
8. Mix equal parts natural wasabi powder with water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
9. Serve sushi with wasabi and coconut aminos for dipping.
