What you need to know about chickpeas, their benefits and the way to cook them

Tired of craving the umami flavors of sushi? Sure, you can eat sashimi, but it's not the same as sushi and rice. It's tempting to go out for a meal, but you can stick around and make those keto sushi rolls like a pro in just a few minutes.

Made with healthy ingredients, you'll enjoy the taste without breaking ketosis. With just six ingredients and no more than 10 minutes to prepare, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite Japanese dish again in no time. You can accompany them with sashimi and vegetables as a main course or starter.

Ingredients of Keto Sushi Roll

This keto recipe uses simple yet healthy ingredients that will make you feel good, and delight your taste buds. Here's what you need to know about what this fantastic keto sushi roll brings you.

Cauliflower rice

A one-cup serving of cauliflower rice contains about 25 calories in total, including 2.5 grams of net carbs, 2.5 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, and no significant amount of fat (1). These macronutrients are the perfect way to refuel without being expelled from ketosis.

Cauliflower is a great rice substitute for sushi because it works with so many flavors. The difference between cauliflower rice and regular rice is most obvious when cauliflower rice is to be used alone. But it's not so much if it's mixed with other flavors.

Some keto recipes use cream cheese to bind rice, but this one uses mayonnaise since cheese is the last thing you want to try on your sushi.

Health Benefits of Nori Seaweed

Another ingredient used in this recipe (and other traditional sushi dishes) is nori, a popular keto snack. Nori is an edible seaweed used in various Japanese recipes that can be eaten fresh or dried as thin leaves.

It's low in calories and cholesterol and is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin C, iron, calcium, zinc, folate and other micronutrients (2).

With this spicy tuna keto sushi roll, you no longer have any reason to deprive yourself of your favorite Japanese cuisine. Take these ingredients and mix them in less than 10 minutes to create your favorite sushi roll.

What is a 'sushi-friendly' fish?

If this is your first time making sushi at home, you may not be familiar with the term 'sushi notes' and what it means. When a fish is marked as suitable for sushi, it usually means that it is of the highest quality and freshness.

While stores commonly use this designation, there are no official standards for the use of the label. The only regulation refers to sins that may contain parasites, such as salmon. Potentially parasitized fish must be frozen to kill parasites before eating them raw.

Choose seasonings wisely

A tasty sauce like wasabi, spicy mayonnaise, or soy sauce can make a difference in your sushi experience, but it can get you out of ketosis if you don't choose carefully. During your low-carb ketogenic journey, you'll find yourself replacing a lot of things, but you don't have to give up on the taste. If the seasoning you have chosen is soy sauce, you can use coconut amino acids in its place. This sauce contains only 1 gram of carbohydrates.

Preparation time:10 Minutes.
Total time:10 Minutes.
Performance: 1.
Category: Dinner.
Cuisine: Japanese

Ingredients:

1/4 pound of sushi-quality tuna.
1 cup cauliflower rice.
1 tablespoon mayonnaise.
1 teaspoon of sriracha.
Pinch of salt.
Nori seaweed leaf.

Instructions:

Cut the tuna into a long tube about an inch thick or into long pieces.

Microwave cauliflower rice for 1 minute, then wrap it in a cloth to wring out excess moisture. Transfer it to a bowl and mix it with the mayonnaise and sriracha.

Place a sheet of nori on the cutting board. Add the rice to the nori sheet and flatten it along the first 3/4 of the sheet into a flat, even paste.

Place the tuna strips on top of the rice. Sprinkle with salt. Next, roll the nori rice sheet over the tuna, pushing it with your fingertips and moving it forward with even pressure until you reach the nori without rice. Wet your fingers and moisten the nori to make it sticky, and finish the roll by sealing it with the wet nori.

Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll.
Serve with freshly grated ginger, gluten-free tamari, and sesame seeds for garnish.
