Sushi At Home

I've only tried making sushi once and that was prior to celiac disease. I would love to try it to make sushi at home but I've got a couple of questions.

I live in an area that doesn't have many choices for sushi making. I wasn't able to find real Wasabi but I found S & B Prepared in tube. Does anyone know if this is gluten free? I've tried to contact S & B and I got an error.

The grocery store had sushi rice but is produced on shared lines with gluten. I did notice a gluten free brand that has short grain rice.

I also picked up KAME Japanese Rice Vinegar, Eden Nori, & Yamamotoyama Toasted Seaweed.

Any ideas would be very helpful!! :)

I didn't realize Lundberg Farms had sushi rice!

I found a recipe online for homemade pickled ginger that uses rice vinegar. The sushi resturant I used to frequent made a chilli dipping sauce that was out of this world. I my try to use that instead of the wasabi...

I got a Sushi book and video for Christmas and I want to start practicing. :D

Thanks!

yes they do! I love making sushi, it's a lot of fun... I am scared of raw fish at home though, so I stick to vegetarian sushi at home! LOL...

I haven't found a Wasabi that has been verified gluten-free, but I also haven't looked very hard... I made pickled ginger once, and I learned that you need to use very young roots for it, not the big stringy ones! Tender baby ginger roots...

my fave combination is avocado, cucumber and cream cheese with the sushi rice in a nori roll, I also use the San J low sodium wheat free tamari, I think the low sodium one tastes so much better than the regular one.

I use a wasabi powder....very easy to use, just add water to make it a paste. But, I will have to check my email - when I asked them if they were gluten-free, I got some weird response.....Will let you know. I stopped using them anyway b/c that was around the time when I was sick and couldn't find the source. I since found the source but never added the wasabi back. Sushi can be very good without wasabi too - I use Bragg's liquid aminos and the saltiness takes care of any need for wasabi for me.

The Kame vinegar is gluten-free, I have emailed them 2x and called 1x to be sure. When I called though, the lady was a bit off...she told me all of Kame's sauces are gluten-free (not true if you look at some labels) and told me that they couldn't list any products as being gluten-free since they are made in the same facility as wheat stuffs. I use it anyway and haven't had problems (I'm super sensitive, but then again, that might not mean anything).

This sounds wonderful, I can't wait to try it! On the veggie side...I like plain cucumber rolls but this sounds so much better. I thought maybe I could get real canned crab and give it a try. I've never had canned crab so I'm not sure how great it would be. :unsure: I also thought about doing a shrimp roll from shrimp tempura (made with gluten-free pancake batter.)

Now that you mention it I remember seeing powder wasabi at an other grocery store. Yeh, I would love to know if it's gluten-free if you can find the e-mail. I don't mind to skip the wasabi but my dh has gone gluten-free for my dd and I and he LOVES & misses sushi. I thought it might me special for me to fix it for him as well.

Thanks again everyone! :)

Its Hime brand Powdered sushi wasabi, distributed by JFC International Inc in San Francisco. Here's there email response (What confused me was the 'ko' on the end of the name, I wasn't sure that they were talking about what I was talking about, maybe I should write again just to be safe).

Thank you for your recent email inquiring about wasabi powder. We

appreciate your interest that prompted you to contact us.

Our Hime brand Japanese Horseradish Powder (Wasabi-ko) is gluten free.

On the wierder side, there is a Hawaiian snack called Musubi which has been stolen from the japanese and modified. Its like making big Maki rolls, but you do it while the rice is warm and the filling is spam or chicken which has been fried in soy sauce. Toss a little toasted sesame seeds in there, roll, and enjoy warm or cold.

Its the best thing on the planet. Everyone I descrbe it to says eeewww weird, and then I make it for them, and they eat all of it, and request it when they come over.

Thanks elonwy,

My dh just bought some shrimp at the store. Let me know if you come up with any other ideas. I love trying new things to fix.!! :D

I thought about doing a smoke salmon and cream cheese roll. The resturant I used to go to offered a soft shell crab roll. :)

ooh, I'm glad you brought this up. I have been avoiding the wasabi, but now maybe I'll check out the Hime stuff. Btw, Hime has THE BEST brown rice ever. I normally don't care for it, but theirs is so darned good. :D

Kaseysmom, I didn't realize you ate soy. Don't know why....Enjoy the tamari for me :P

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
