Low Carb Sushi Bowls (With Frozen Cauliflower Rice)
Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) bag frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1/2 cucumber (sliced)
- 6 oz crab meat (or cooked shrimp/salmon)
- 1 nori sheet (shredded)
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 diced green onion
Sriracha Mayo
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp sriracha sauce
Instructions
-
Microwave the frozen cauliflower rice according to package directions. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the seasoned rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo. Adjust the heat to taste.
-
Divide the seasoned cauliflower rice between two bowls and mix shredded nori into the rice. Top with crab meat (or shrimp/salmon), sliced cucumber, and avocado. Garnish with green onion and toasted sesame seeds, then drizzle with sriracha mayo. Serve cold.
Notes
- Protein options: Imitation crab can be higher in carbs, so choose real crab meat, cooked shrimp, salmon, or another cooked seafood. These bowls also work well as a vegetarian option if you omit seafood.
- Meal prep tip: Double the recipe and prepare cauliflower rice, sriracha mayo, and chopped vegetables ahead. Store components separately and assemble portions quickly when ready to eat—or assemble the night before for an easy lunch to take to work.
- You can substitute small seaweed snack packages for the nori sheet if you prefer; they add a salty, savory sushi note to the bowls.
