Trying to be inventive here.

Thinking of steaming a cauliflower and ricing it. Mix some grated tillamook cheddar into the cauliflower.

Place a bed of this cauliflower on the seaweed wrap, place shards of grilled chicken, parsley, steamed garlc. Roll up

Top with avocado or leave stag.

Do you think this would work as a rice replacement?

That will be an interesting experiment for sure! Instead of a nori
wrap you could use a cabbage leaf; then you could call it holubtsi
instead of sushi.[g]

Sushi it isn't... especially being as sushi refers also to the sushi
vinegar mixed with the rice to turn it into sushi rice... ;) But I can
see where it might sort of resemble a sushi roll... in appearance
anyway... ;)

The avocado might help it.... :) I've never quite found the riced
cauliflower to actually be a decent replacement for rice, even though I
like the cauliflower ok on its own... :)

So... did you actually try it... and how did it work out...? :)

That's completely correct. The point was to simulate sushi appearance and not taste. That wouldn't be possible without the vinegared rice, as you said.

The avocado might help it.... :) I've never quite found the riced cauliflower to actually be a decent replacement for rice, even though I
like the cauliflower ok on its own... :)

Avocado wouldn't have helped with that combination of ingredients. My next run will though, I predict.

So... did you actually try it... and how did it work out...? :)

Yes, indeed we did.

It was palatable but it wasn't something I'd repeat in that combination. Instead I'll use soy wrap instead of nori. The chicken will be marinated or at least a dry rub. I'd skip the
fresh parsley on the inside. I'd top it with avocado, or stuff it inside if there's room. Then I'd drizzle it with either a liquified caramelized onion drizzle or a miso dressing
(the current favorite in the house) which I make ad store in a squeeze bottle.

I wish there were a healthy rice replacement that could mimic the real thing but I'm afraid it's not possible without the use of soy and that's a no-no.

Oh rice how I miss thee.

I forgot to mention, I typically smash the avocado and mix a tbsp of mayo into it to give it some creaminess and spread it on the nori before i put the rice on. It gets spread out
and adds a dimension to the roll that shards of avocado simply don't do. I also
add a bit of sushi vinegar too, sometimes. If I manage to sneak cilantro in, that's when i do, It's
hard to sneak it in with my spouse's discerning dislike for the flavor

I'm not sure how much point there is in just simulating the
appearance... but then I'm often eating sushi and sashimi... ;) You
could make it low carb by just serving the fish (or whichever) without
the rice.... :)

Is it just the carb content of the rice that is the issue here...?

My other half won't eat raw fish. I will any day of the week but anyway.

My other half is on low carb, meaning I'm on low carb.

Let me clarify somethig with you. I can call it simulating sushi, but in reality what I'm doing is fusion. What am I fusing is debatable, but in reality
I want to serve a roll that is healthy,
delicious, and aesthetic because that's how I roll.

sorry for the pun.

Ok. And I did notice you saying this isn't going to be a long-term

OK, I'll accept the fusion... I just tend not to use terms that imply something actually a lot different from what it ends up being... Calling
it a roll (and dropping the "sushi" part) is more descriptive to me, and
less confusing... :)

sorry for the pun.

No problem.... we do enjoy our word play in here, so go right ahead... :)
