Ingredients

  • Eggs - 4 large
  • Cauliflower - 200 grams, riced
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon
  • Sugar substitute (erythritol) - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Green onions - 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Nori sheets - 2 small

Steps

  1. Start by ricing the cauliflower using a food processor or box grater until it resembles rice grains.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sugar substitute. Mix well and remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until well combined.
  4. In a non-stick skillet, add a little sesame oil and heat over medium-low. Pour in a quarter of the egg mixture and tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.
  5. Using a spatula, carefully roll the omelet from one side to the other. Move the rolled omelet to one side of the pan and add another quarter of the egg mixture, repeating the process until all the egg mixture is used up. You should have 4 rolled omelets.
  6. Once the omelets are cooked, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  7. To assemble, take a nori sheet and place a scoop of the cauliflower rice on one end. Top with sliced omelet and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Roll tightly and slice in half to serve.
