Trying to be inventive here.

We all are, sometimes. Nobody's perfect.

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

The plus is that it will help the cauliflower stick. The
minus is that it'll in no way resemble rice. The other
plus is that it might taste good.

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.

Interesting. I would top with avocado for the richness.

Do you think this would work as a rice replacement?

No, but don't let that stop you. Don't think of it as
"sushi" but as something altogether else. It may look
sort of cutely like sushi, but tastewise, not at all.

I tried it. The flavors clashed. Umami paper doesn't work, but soy wrap may on the next round. Ultimately used parsley too, not good.

Didn't add avocado thankfully

I wasn't going for the taste-like-rice, but more of a sushi-like presentation.

Next round will be:

Soy wrap
Cheesy cauliflower
Grilled chicken (marinated this time)
Liquified caremelized onion drizzle or miso dressing drizzle

soy wrap may on the next round.

Are you talking about "Abura age", deep-fried tofu pockets? That
could be really tasty.

God no. We don't do tofu. That stuff should serve as wall insulation. No offense intended.

God no. We don't do tofu.

I was about to ask, "What is a soy wrapper?" but I googled it
instead. What a neat innovation! It hasn't hit our stores or
restaurants here yet but I would certainly try it when it does.

And I found this in my recipe database; I didn't know it was there
before. Unfortunately it doesn't describe how to make the macadamia nut-cauliflower faux rice.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

6 Nori sheets
Reserved faux rice
1 Cucumber, peeled, seeded,
And cut into long thin
Sticks
1/4 Watermelon, peeled, seeded,

three pieces and reserve keeping chilled.

I bet you could get it on request at a sushi restaurant. I have no problem eating nori so I don't request it often. But, for my purposes at home, I'll use
it if seaweed clashes with the
ingredients.

Perhaps. We have two of them here but I haven't been to either one of them lately. And we have a pretty good for a small town Asian grocery
store that carries a little bit of everything from all over. Again I
haven't been there for a while.

Have you considered cauliflower rice Chirashizushi (scattered sushi)
where the rice (or cauliflower) is served in a bowl and topped with
a variety of fish and vegetable garnishes?

And then there's Sake-zushi with rice wine instead of vinegar in
preparing the rice for the bowl.

Here's a low carb sushi roll with neither rice nor cauliflower:

--MM

Low Carb Keto Soy Wrapped Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll
cat: Diabetic, Healthy, Salmon, Japanese, Sushi
Yield: 3 rolls

1 cup canned salmon, bones removed and shredded
2 tablespoons full fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Asian chili oil or Sriracha sauce
1/2 avocado, sliced into 1/3 inch wide strips
3 sesame soy wrappers

Shred canned salmon with a fork and mix with mayonnaise and chili
oil. Slice ripe avocado into 1/3 inch wide strips. Use a sushi mat
if you have one. Moisten one short side of a soy wrapper with
water. Spoon salmon along the opposite short side. Use 1/3 of the
salmon to make a log shape along the edge of the wrapper. Top the
salmon with 1/3 of the avocado slices.

Starting with the side with the ingredients, gently begin rolling
the sushi roll over itself. Place your thumbs underneath the bamboo
mat and lift the edge that is closest to you up and over the
filling.

Curve the rest of your fingers over the bamboo mat and gently press
along the length of the sushi roll. Pull the edge of the bamboo
toward you to fold it underneath your hands, then continue to roll
the sushi away from you until you've rolled past the moistened end
of the soy wrapper.

Press your fingers along the edge to seal it. Use a large very sharp
knife to cut the sushi roll into 1 inch wide pieces. Repeat with
the 2 remaining rolls. Serve with soy sauce.

These low carb Soy Wrapped Spicy Salmon Sushi Rolls have just 2g net
carbs each.
