Sushi Rolls Ups
A variant of sushi without all the carbs in the rice. Feel free to use whatever fish you like, provided it is sashimi grade if you will be eating it raw. Smoked salmon is a great substitute here. You could even make a thin egg pancake and slice that for a vegetarian version.
Servings 2
Calories 306kcal
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 small avocado or 1/2 medium avocado
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos, for serving
- Furikake optional
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber lengthwise into 1/16-inch strips using a mandolin or a sharp knife (a mandolin makes this easiest).
- Combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, and sesame oil in a small bowl and stir to combine. Transfer it to a small plastic bag, trim one corner and use the bag to pipe the spiced mayo in a thin line down the middle of the cucumber (no need to spread it - adding fillings will do this).
- Mash the avocado and divide it evenly between the cucumber strips, being careful to leave about 1 inch of the strip empty to facilitate rolling.
- Break the smoked salmon into pieces and lay over top of the avocado. Roll up the cucumber slices, rolling toward the empty end and arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle with furikake, if desired and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
Don’t be tempted to overfill these too much or they will be hard to roll. They will also be too large to eat in one bite.
