Low Carb Sushi Rolls &Carbohydrate Count for Sushi

Sushi Rice: Roll 29 grams; Nigiri (2 pcs) 14.5 grams
Crab 0; Tuna 0; Salmon 0; Avocado 1.5 grams; Cream Cheese .4 grams; Kewpie Mayo 0;
Sriracha 0; Cucumber .5 grams; Nori (seaweed) 0; California Roll: appox. 31.5 grams

Want to make Low Carb Sushi Rolls? Just omit the rice! Nori is a vegetable, so no carbs. Add extra fish and vegetables to take the place of the rice. Or use Cucumber instead of the rice and nori to wrap the roll! It can be challanging to cut the cucumber, but well worth the effort! You need a thin sashimi knife (one that is long enough to cover the length of the cucumber and has an evenly thin blade. Have you ever seen someone use a knife to skin an apple to get the skin off in one piece? That's what I'm referring to. You have to skoochy the knife under the skin evenly and keep it going around and around until you have a wide enough piece to make a roll. (I hope that made sense! If not, email me and I'll get into as much detail as I can!) A cucumber roll like this is best served with ponzu sauce. The cucumber enhances the flavors of the ingredients making it very light and refreshing! You can also use the soy wraps instead of the nori or cucumber.
