Cooking Tips and Tricks
- To enhance the flavors of your sushi, try adding a splash of sesame oil or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds to the cauliflower rice.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can use marinated tofu or scrambled eggs as the protein in your sushi rolls.
Photography Tips
When photographing your keto-friendly sushi creations, make sure to capture the vibrant colors of the vegetables and the fresh seafood. Natural light works best for food photography, so try shooting near a window during the day. Using a macro lens can help you achieve close-up shots of the intricate details in your sushi rolls.
