Before making this sushi salmon avocado I was a bit nervous. How did that come about? Well we have a permanent sushi address and they are always very tasty there. And so the idea was to try to make a low carb avocado salmon sushi with it this time. Because no matter how you get used to it when you eat sushi, you also eat a lot of white rice. Not necessarily very appropriate for an adapted lifestyle in which I try to limit carbohydrates a bit. Still, it turned out amazingly well for me. Apart from the fact that they look very really nice, the salmon avocado sushi was also very tasty. Mission accomplished and it wasn't really that complicated either. This opens the door to perhaps making your own sushi more often and experimenting with different contents.
Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish consisting of small bites of cooked rice, often combined with raw fish or seafood, vegetables, egg and other ingredients. The dish is often served with soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger to enhance the flavor.
The history of sushi goes back to the 8th century in Japan, when fish was pickled in rice to ferment and preserve it. This became known as "narezushi". Later, in the 17th century, “edomaezushi” became popular in the city of Edo (now Tokyo), where fresh fish was used instead of fermented fish. Served as street food, this type of sushi quickly gained popularity in Japan and later in the rest of the world.
Sushi is one of the most popular dishes in the world today and is served in many different variations and styles. In addition to the traditional nigiri sushi (rice ball with a slice of fish on top) and maki sushi (rice and fillings rolled in seaweed), there are also Western variations on sushi, such as the California roll, which often contains avocado, surimi (imitation crab) and cucumber. Sushi is also popular for its healthy properties, as it often contains raw fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients.
Low carb avocado salmon sushi
Low calorie sushi? sushi calories. But how can you call this low-carb? Because in the picture you can really see that I also made sushi rice. That's because I used half/half sushi rice and cauliflower rice. Nowadays, the fresh food section of your supermarket often contains bags of broccoli and, for example, cauliflower rice. Simply grind vegetables into very fine pieces that can then be used as rice.
In this recipe low carb avocado salmon sushi we mix the delicious sticky sushi rice with the cauliflower rice. This way the whole will stick, but you will eat half the carbohydrates. My husband hardly noticed the difference and you can vary endlessly with the content of your sushi. I will definitely try to make an inside-out roll with it. Then the rice is on the outside of the roll, which you roll in the sesame seeds, for example. I think it's "sticky" enough to make it that way.
