Sushi

[ANewMe83 21]

Just wondering ...when are we allowed to eat sushi?

I can't imagine why not, with some caveats. First, if you are talking about roll sushi or nigiri, or even hand roll, all of those contain rice, in particular sticky rice, which is likely to be a problem for your pouch (it will clump together and not move through the opening in your pouch). So, you would have to stick with sashimi, with no rice.

And I would probably wait until you are in your solid foods stage too. I wouldn't consider uncooked fish to be a "soft food". Also, remember you will need to chew the sashimi thoroughly.

Of course, no teriyaki chicken (sauce is essentially sugar), and no tempura (all deep fried), and no fried gyoza.

But you could have the miso Soup, and you could have the edemame.

You need to be careful with the sunomono salad (pickled cucumber salad), since that is normally pickled in a sweet vinegar. Not sure how much sugar is involved there, and that may be a problem. Even a normal salad usually has a sweet Japanese dressing, which is has sugar in it.

In any case, I would probably wait until you were in your solid foods stage before I would consider even trying it.

What? No gyoza??? Is it the wonton? Can I have steamed dumplings without the wonton?

I eat sashimi regularly. I can't eat much - usually 6-8 pieces depending on the size - and I stick to fish - no eel, no octopus, nothing too crazy. I am also careful about how much soy sauce I use as it's so full of sodium that I struggle to catch up with Water later. I've tried a few pieces of a hand roll here and there but yes, the rice is a problem for me and just not worth it.

Ahi Poke is an awesome 'starter' at some sushi joints - which is Ahi chopped up in tiny chunks with chili oil and seseme oil drizzled on it. It's awesome and totally OK for us to eat.

@@tssiemer Note that I said "fried" gyoza being a no-no. I don't know about steamed. I would be a bit careful about the outer covering, which is made with rice flour and might clump together in your pouch. I'd say try a piece of one (like half), wait half an hour, and see how you feel.

I wouldn't try it until you are in the solid foods stage.

I totally forgot about the rice! I just wanted one hand sushi roll with eel sauce. But I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks.

I love sushi. I have been craving it. Whole food makes sushi rolls w brown rice that isn't nearly as sticky as normal sushi rice. I'm hoping that in a couple more months I'll be able to stomach that.

@@bellabloom Try sashimi instead of sushi. With no rice, you may do much better.
