Ingredients

  • Sashimi-grade salmon - 150g
  • 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
  • Green onions - 2 stalks
  • Rice vinegar - 1 tbsp
  • Sea salt - to taste

Steps

  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the processed cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, twist it to remove excess moisture, and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. While the cauliflower rice is cooling, thinly slice the sashimi-grade salmon and tuna into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.
  6. To assemble the Sashimi Don, divide the cauliflower rice between two bowls as the base.
  7. Artfully arrange the salmon, tuna, cucumber, and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice.
  8. Garnish each bowl with pickled ginger, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
  9. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side for dipping.
