Temperatures are getting warmers, so our bodies will naturally gravitate towards hydrating foods. Here is my Japanese Sushi Handroll recipes with a Carrot Sesame Ginger Sauce!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup (180g) cauliflower sushi rice
3 TBS sushi seasoning
10 sheets toasted sushi nori (seaweed)
1/2 choice of mushrooms
1 medium red bell pepper
6 oz (170g) preserved daikon
2 medium cucumber sliced
2 small avocados, pitted and sliced
furikake for topping (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prep cauliflower rice or use quinoa or brown rice.
Cut the nori sheets in half. Place one half of the nori sheet on a board, shiny side down. Spoon some rice onto the nori (about 2 to 3 tablespoons). Spread the rice so that you fill one half of the nori. Top the nori with a few slices of cucumber, red pepper, daikon, and veggies.
Starting with the lower right-hand corner, roll the nori towards the left, until you reach the end. Seal the hand roll with a few grains of rice. Repeat with all the other nori sheets.
