Ingredients

- Sashimi-grade tuna - 150g
- Cauliflower - 300g
- Cucumber - 1 medium
- Avocado - 1 ripe
- Soy sauce - 30ml
- Wasabi - 1 tsp
- Pickled ginger - 30g
- Sesame seeds - 1 tbsp

Steps
- Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. In a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains.
- Transfer the processed cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, twist it to remove excess moisture, and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of sea salt and rice vinegar, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- While the cauliflower rice is cooling, thinly slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.
- To assemble the Sashimi Don, divide the cauliflower rice between two bowls as the base.
- Artfully arrange the salmon, tuna, cucumber, and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice.
- Garnish each bowl with pickled ginger, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
- Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side for dipping.
