Hello,
Yesterday I made keto sushi rolls with cauli rice and it did NOT go well. The cauli would not stick and it was too moist, causing my seaweed sheet to rip
Tips needed

Well, how was the flavor?
What about just having all the ingredients on the plate and call it a deconstructed sushi roll?
I made sushi with regular rice ONCE and decided to leave it to the professionals

We have sushi at home quite often but serve family style, namely roll your own hand rolls. You need to use sushi rice (or risotto rice in a pinch) otherwise the rice won't stick. If you want to cut carbs I might try replacing half the rice with cauli rice, but no more.

@nadializette - hi! When I make rolls at home. I omit rice all together. My fav is 🥒 cucumber, avocado and salmon. Here are some rice-less pics for inspiration!

To be honest Keto does not lend itself well to a large number of foods, despite the so called "replacements" they try to come up with. If you do Keto, expect to have to restrict a bunch of foods. If those are foods you really enjoy, it may not be the best fit for you as a weight loss plan
But there are other ways to enjoy that type of cuisine if you want to. You can make handrolls without rice like @Safari_Gal_. Those look delicious. Although with seaweed they could potentially not be strict keto depending on the carbs.
You can also have sashimi, which is just the raw fish without the rice. The serve that at most sushi restaurants. That would be very keto friendly. But personally I would skip out on trying to make keto nigiri (the sushi with rice) or keto rice rolls. Nothing is gonna match the original.7 -
Instead of trying to roll it just put in a bowl like a poke bowl. Same ingredients, still delicious, less frustrating.5

They specifically mention the cauliflower rice option.1 -
I've substituted canned crab meat with a lil rice vinegar and cream cheese as a binder. It's a dif thing obviously, but tasty, and holds a roll together.2

I added a it of rice vinegar and a tiny bit of cream cheese to help it stick. It's not exactly the same, but it worked for me. I filled with cucumber, salmon, avocado, some crab meat (and any combination of those) and wrapped in nori.
After I cooked the cauliflower, I put it in a tea towel and squeezed the crap out of it to get rid of water.2 -

I may have to try that. It sounds good.0 -
