Valentina P
Homemade Philadelphia Rolls recipe made with cauliflower rice and smoked salmon! The secret is to use a little cream cheese to hold the rice in place. Low-carb, easy, and no raw fish needed.
How To MakeDiet Type: Low-carb
Shopping List
-
For the Cauliflower Rice
- 1 1/2 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 large sushi seaweed nori sheet (we use these ones) For the Filling
- 2 ounces smoked salmon
- 1/4 cucumber, peeled and sliced into matchsticks (about 3/4 cup)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Spread the rice evenly over a lined baking sheet. If using frozen cauliflower rice, defrost it in the refrigerator or microwave so that you can break up any frozen clumps. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cauliflower on the edges of the pan begin to turn lightly golden. It should not be wet at all. Set aside to cool fully.
- Step 3: Combine the cooled cauliflower, cream cheese, and vinegar. The mixture should hold its shape when scooped with a spoon. Add more cream cheese if more stickiness is needed.
- Step 4: Lay down the seaweed on a flat surface, shiny side facing down. Spread the rice mixture evenly over the seaweed, leaving a 1-inch border on the edge furthest away from you (see reference images).
- Step 5: Line up the cucumber and smoked salmon slices towards the front of the sheet closest to you, parallel with the 1-inch border side. Gently roll the nori sheet away from you, towards the end that has the border. Use your fingers to tuck in the ingredients as you roll, similar to rolling a burrito.
- Step 6: When the roll is entirely wrapped up, seal the edge by smearing a little water along the edge of the nori sheet. Flip the roll over so that the wet edge is on the bottom. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the roll into pieces.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately dipped into a little soy sauce and/or wasabi.
