ケトちらし丼 (刺身と蒟蒻米/葉物)
Keto Chirashi Don (Sashimi over Konnyaku Rice/Greens)
Yes, with a tweak: substitute sushi rice with konnyaku rice or mixed greens. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
An assortment of fresh, premium sashimi (e.g., tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, shrimp, octopus) artfully arranged over a generous bed of mixed greens or konnyaku rice instead of traditional sushi rice. Typically garnished with cucumber, avocado, and served with a side of sugar-free soy sauce or ponzu and fresh wasabi.
Key ingredients
Assorted sashimi (maguro, sake, hamachi, ebi, hotate, tako), konnyaku rice OR mixed greens, cucumber slices, avocado slices, shiso leaf, shredded nori, fresh ginger, wasabi, sugar-free soy sauce/ponzu.
How to make it keto
Crucially, substitute sushi rice with konnyaku rice or mixed greens. Ensure all accompanying sauces (soy sauce, ponzu) are sugar-free. Avoid high-carb garnishes like traditional tamagoyaki or sweetened pickles.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
寿司飯ではなく、こんにゃく米か葉物でお願いします。タレは全て糖質オフで、卵焼きや甘い漬物はなしでお願いします。
Please use konnyaku rice or mixed greens instead of sushi rice. All sauces must be sugar-free. No tamagoyaki or sweetened pickles.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in traditional soy sauce, ponzu, or sweet marinades for certain seafood. Konnyaku rice can contain a small amount of digestible carbs. Watch for high-carb garnishes.
