Ok so this is mirical sushi😱😱😱Each roll is brace yourselves… 10 calories!!!
It’s amazing I know but I did the math over and over again and it checks out!!
Reminder that 10 calories = 1 potato chip!
So the entire plate is just a tad over 200 cals!! With your sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce you can bump it up (generously because I’m a paranoid rexy) to about 300 for the entire meal!!!
I just finished eating and I feel full but not bloated and I got some good nutrients in there too!!
I missed sushi so much because it could be like 100+ cals a roll YIKES!!
So here’s the recipe!
You will need:
1 cucumber
1 zucchini
1 capsicum
1 spring onion
1 carrot
Alfalfa sprouts
Bean sprouts
Nori seaweed paper
Mirical rice/ konjanc rice (0 cal rice)
Pepper
Cummin
Soy sauce/ sweet chilli to taste
Follow the instructions for your 0 cal rice to drain and prepare
Fry rice in pan without oil to dry out and liquid that may still be on it. Crack fresh black pepper and a pinch of cummin to give the rice some flavour
Begin chopping veggies while rice sits. I suggest peeling thin slices of carrot and zucchini and chopping cucumber and capsicum into thin strips. Chop the spring onion finely
This is the quantity of vedge I used
When you’ve chopped all the vedge begin rolling the sushi using the traditional method. I cant really explain the process but if you google it there are heaps of tutorials!
Be prepared to fail the first few times this was my first go and there was a dog pile of first time failures!
Keep in mind the trick to this super low cal sushi is in the konjanc rice! This beefs up the body of the meal and fools you into feeling hella full!!
Enjoy this recipe and please reblog to save an Ana from boring low cal food!
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a wok (lol or a frying pan) (1 tablespoon is enough), add the vegetables (the sliced garlic, julienned onion, carrots and cabbage, and soy sprouts) and the soy sauce sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat.
Follow the directions of your rice paper or soak it in hot water for 3-5 seconds
Add 2 tablespoons of filling near the middle, and tightly roll the wrapper, fold over the left side, fold over the right side, then the top and bottom, and paint a little water along the edge and close it up.
Heat plenty of extra virgin olive oil in the wok and when it’s very hot, add the spring rolls and cook them for about 1 minute or until both sides are golden brown.
Start by frying the celery, carrot and broccoli. Add half the soy sauce and a couple tablespoons of water because there’s no oil. Also this will help them soften.
Add pepper and any other spices you want (coriander seeds, nutmeg etc).
Once the vegetables have softened a little, add the zucchini, mushroom, garlic, vinegar, sriracha, sugar, and the rest of the soy.
Cook until softened, adding more water if needed to stop it burning.
That’s it! Serve it hot and enjoy x
Optional additions:
½ bell pepper – 10 cal (total 109)
1 tsp grated ginger – 3 cal (total 102)
2 tsp hoi sin sauce – 13 cal (total 112)
¼ cup cooked rice – 50 cal (total 149)
2 lettuce leaves (to have it like san choy bao) – 10 cal (total 109)
This recipe makes quite a lot of food but is low cal so it tricks your brain that you’re full, and other people think you’re eating enough!
💫 Let me know if you guys want me to post more recipes 💫
I made these for the whole family and they never suspected a thing about how low cal they were 😂 I guess that just shows how rich in taste and flavour they are!!
Cut your relatively uniform zucchini in half (we will be using only ONE of the haves), and then using a spoon hollow it out, leaving around ¼ inch round the sides. Remember that 100g zucchini = 17kcal (recipie kcal count based on 1 zucchini half weighing 100g, adjust the kcal according to how much your half weighs).
Prepare tomato sauce- add 80g tomato puree (30.4kcal) to mixing bowl and add 50ml water because the sauce will evaporate a lot in the oven. Then add salt and pepper and also garlic, onion and ginger granules (or fresh if you have some) to taste. The garlic, onion and ginger will boost your metabolism, you can also add some chilli flakes for one extra kick.
Pour sauce into boats and add some oregano and basil for that authentic Italian taste.
Cover with foil and bake in 400F/195°C oven for 40mins
Uncover and cook for another 5mins (at this point if you want, you can sprinkle some cheese on top before you put it back in for the 5 mins, but just be aware that it will add between 25-50kcal more to your meal).
Leave to cool and enjoy!
If you want to, you could also cook some mince and put it into the sauce before you put the zucchini in the oven the first time, but remember that it’ll add extra kcal.
