sushi and sashimi

[SThomas3791]

its pretty obvious that sushi would be a no no due to the rice. what about sashimi? i am totally craving some lol.

seaweed is not induction friendly...not sure whats in sashimi...Anything is legal, as long as ALL of the ingredients are on the list of foods acceptable for induction.

Most sashimi is ok. It's basically raw fish/seafood. Two types I'd stay away from is the tamago (egg omelette) and kani (crab stick) sashimi. The former usually has sugar in it. Kani is usually immitation crab made from fish, flour, and crab flavoring. At least that's how those two sashimi items are here in the Philippines. I don't know how it is in your area.

well basically i'm looking at salmon (sake), tuna (maguro), and yellowtail (hamachi). i know there are certain fish/ seafoods we want to limit our weekly servings to. i see there is about 1 carb per tablespoon of soy sauce. cant see myself using anymore than 1.5-2 tablespoons. wasabi is the only thing really worrying me? as anyone who eats sushi or sashimi knows a little wasabi, goes a long long way. its hard to get a carb count on it.

Funny, I had just the same question a while back! Thankfully, Sunny was there to help...

great! i like your one response adding this is a "once in awhile" item. not like im going to have sashimi every night, i'd go broke lol. only plan on having this on days when i'm getting sick of steaks, pork, and chicken. it would be a nice way to break the monotiny. maybe 1-2 times per month sounds about right. oh! and for anyone who may turn their nose up at sashimi or sushi, you really have no idea what you're missing. i too thought to myself "there is no way i'm trying that." leave it to my sister-in-law to get me to try it and it truly is unbelievable, if its done right. if you ever do decide to give it a try make sure you go to a reputable place to get it. i would hate your 1st experience to be a bad one. it does get expensive, all i did was a little research online and now i make my own at home at a fraction of the price. sushi/sashimi night at my house is always a big hit! one word of advice...be very careful with your wasabi! like a said a little goes a very long way! i usually use enough wasabi to resemble about 1/4 of your eraser on a new pencil. any more than that and your sinuses will definitly be open. lol

Man, it is just gross what we consider 'food' these days. There are more chemicals, fillers & dyes than 'food'. I don't know if I could go back to eating like I used to (even if I wanted to) now that I know what is in that factory-made cr*p that passes for food in our 'advanced' society...[end of rant]

Exactly. We bought my dog some of that Squeez Cheez stuff for her Kong toy, and I looked at the ingredient list on the back - blegh!

I know what you mean - you think people food is bad... - I think my puppy is gluten intolerant, and I'm looking at having to make my own food for him. Even the expensive 'natural' foods are full of yucky stuff.

PS - I've been using peanut butter in Roscoe's Kong (using up the stuff with the sugar in it). He loves it.

A while back, my pup had to go on a sensitive stomach diet for a week or so. I cooked up a huge thing of ground beef, made another huge thing of rice, bought a tub of cottage cheese, and boiled eggs until my stove burst into flames. Then, I pulled out a bunch of plastic containers (think Gladware) and put a day's worth into each one. It made dealing with homecooking her food SO much easier.
