low carb sushi

So, @pavlosn has posted a couple of times recently about having sushi - and leaving the rice.

It made me rather wistful for my sushi eating days. Especially with the pickled ginger, and the wasabi kick...

But then I found this:

I have made sushi a few times, and it really is quite simple.
So I am glad to have it back on the menu!

Looks yummy - but not sure I've got the patience to make it though! I can imagine them all turning out a bit loose then chucking all the ingredients in a bowl and eating it with a spoon.

Now that looks rather nice but Im not sure I could eat sushi without the pickled ginger - I used to eat some sushi, butvven more sashimi (raw fish) but I adored the pickled ginger a little too much - sadly even just with sashimi it sends my sugars bonkers

Interesting. Sashimi was one of my most higher spikes twice!! Now I'm afraid of it. Lol. I love loads of other fish so no problem. I also consider all the contaminates in the salmon and tuna sashimi which are my favs. I love canned and haven't had the craving for sashimi lately.

Weird it spikes you too!

I don't actually like the pickled ginger. Having three pieces of salmon sashimi, eight pieces of tempura prawn and just the prawn and avocado insides of eight rolls ignoring the rice resulted in a 27mg/dl (1.5 mmol) 2 hour rise from 87 to 114 mg/dl (from 4,8 to 6,3 mmol).

Definetely not something I have every day but an option when out with friends.

Just tested again at 2.5 hours and I am down to 99 mg/dl (5.5 mmol) having had a helping of sugar free strawberry flavor jelly in the intervening half hour (my go to when I fancy a desert)

You know we need pics, right?

I saw a brilliant series about Japan, on Prime a while back. One 1 hr episode was exclusively on sushi. From catching the fish to crockery choice to the subtlety of seasonings.

Now i can have a play.
