Sushi?

[munkee41182]

Does anyone have issues with Sushi? I've been craving it like you wouldn't believe. So I stopped at our local grocery store that makes their own sushi and they just had california rolls left. I read the package and it said that it had wheat in it (because it was artificial crab meat). Has anyone else had issues with Sushi or was it just the fact that I didn't go to a sushi bar to curb my craving?

Sushi is a great stand-by for me! I just make sure they've used rice vinegar in the rice (I heard some alternatives to that can have gluten). So far not one restaurant has used the alleged alternative. Then instead of using soy sauce, or even wheat-free soy sauce which some have, I ask for lime wedges and squirt lime juice all over it. Delicious. Gives it a slight ceviche twist. Some Japanese restaurants use corn starch for their tempura, and if it goes in a dedicated frier (one place I visited did) that can be safe too! They could probably grill salmon plain in it's own pan, or if they're sophisticaed on the gluten issue could make a gluten-free sauce. But I usually head straight for sushi. Now, some sushi, like eel, probably has wheat in that terriyaki type sauce on it. And special rolls often have something possibly wheaty in them. I usually just get one order salmon or tuna or something simple, then complete the meal at home or eat an apple in the car.

We've found that one of the typical Japanese brands of mayo has malt vinegar in it.

I love sushi and have it often, but there aren't a whole lot of kinds of sushi that you're going to get that you can be certain you can have, particularly at a supermarket that's trying to see the ones with the most appeal to the common crowd. Go to a sushi restaurant (and many of them do takeout ).

I love Sushi and I have found a place that works out for me. I just have them use steamed rice instead of sushi rice, leave off any kind of sauce, and avoid any imitation crab or deep fried item unless they have a dedicated fryer. The sushi in the grocery store can be tricky and not as tasty as a sushi bar, but I've found as long as you stay away from the imitation crab it's typically safe, as the other what source would be the sauce, which is usually in a sealed packet that you can just toss.

Well see I know that most of them to take out...and I passed a few restaurants on the way home that I've been with my girl friends, but he decided to stop at the supermarket. He was being a bone headed man and not listening to me. He'd rather google the sushi restaurant than take my word for it.

I made him recite our wedding nuptuals since the minister made him say "repeat after me" and ran down the list of "yes dear" "you're right, I'm wrong" and "i'm sorry" as well as other common husband phrases that they should remember. It was pretty funny....but i digressed.

I have a great sushi restaurant in town that we occasionally go to. I always sit at the bar and talk to the Chef. He's very friendly (I always get the same guy) and answers all of my questions. He's not afraid to ask questions back, he wants truly understand the limitations.
