Ingredients

  • Cauliflower - 300 grams, riced
  • Sushi vinegar - 2 tablespoons
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
  • Radish - 50 grams, thinly sliced
  • Smoked salmon - 100 grams, sliced
  • Shrimp - 100 grams, cooked and peeled
  • Egg - 2 large, beaten
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Nori sheets - 1, cut into strips
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
  • Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped

Steps

  1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and stir in the sushi vinegar. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. In another pan, scramble the beaten eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. To assemble the chirashi zushi, divide the cauliflower rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, cucumber, radish, smoked salmon, shrimp, and scrambled eggs.
  5. Garnish with nori strips, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions. Drizzle with soy sauce before serving.
