Healthy Sushi Choices: Dining Debunked! Mind Over Munch

[@alexl0890]

Thanks Alysia. I worked at a sushi place and learned that that the crab meat in california rolls is shredded with a machine, then mixed with sugar and mayo to make it creamy and soft. Thats the case when the crab meat looks shredded like it is in your roll but if its a whole untouched crab meat there is no mayo or sugar. Just a heads up!

[@MindOverMunch]

That is fantastic info, thank you for sharing!

[@MindOverMunch]

That is fantastic info, thank you for sharing!

[@basilcake]

I like debunking videos like this that aren't specific to a resturant. Helps out international viewers who just don't have Panera or what have you where they live. Keep up the great videos :)

[@MindOverMunch]

+basilcake awesome! Thank you for the advice, I'll totally keep this in mind!

[@dizzizzi12]

Love veggie rolls- avocado, cucumber, and carrot!

[@kosycat1]

+dizzizzi12 right on!

[@sweethearts86]

me too!

[@lindseyzhong]

Sushi isn't actually about the fish as most people suspect it's actually about the rice...

[@MindOverMunch]

Yes you're right about that! It's very interesting :)

[@aaqukdhejhejibd]

honestly in my opinion, the traditional Japanese sushi is pretty healthy. though there is added sugar, the vinegar in rice can help to regulate the blood sugar level. also idk if it is true but sushi rice (white rice) usually contain resistance starch after cooling down.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Hermia Chan yep! I note in the video that the most traditional sushi is definitely the healthiest choice.

[@PrettyYounqThang]

Could you do a healthy choices video on Jamba Juice? They do have food items as well and their smoothies have ice cream in them so I would like your input on that.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Lily Great suggestion, thank you!

[@siriusappicello9979]

I'm in agreement here!

[@icannotchoose]

I thought maybe you could show us how to make our own sushi, because I'd love to try the cucumber thing!

[@MindOverMunch]

+Drama_Llama_5000 I've tried making the cucumber roll with medium success, I need a proper sushi chef to teach me how to cut it because getting that thin cucumber uniform is so tough lol!

[@icannotchoose]

+Mind Over Munch have you tried using a peeler to get thin strip?

[@MindOverMunch]

+Drama_Llama_5000 the problem is you have to peel it width wise, so it's wide & long while being thin! I've tried a few times and watched so many KZbin videos- everyone uses a chefs knife. They make it look so easy but it's hard to get it even lol!

[@EmsIsFab]

+Mind Over Munch Mandolins are your friend!

[@1LORENAMONGE]

How about making cucumber boats? I want to try the cucumber-sushi thing but I'm not going to peel and roll a hundred of these (I have 4 young adults, husband, and extras). But I will make them on half a cucumber cut lengthwise, middle scooped out and filled with a thin layer of rice, avocado, and mango salsa.

[@sandrasoules]

You should do the whole foods salad bar/ burritos!!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@hannahwaters5937]

That dress looks so nice on you! Love the video too xx

[@meredithkav]

I loved your final tip about really savoring and enjoying the sushi. When you think about how painstakingly each roll was assembled, you can really appreciate each flavor and layer of ingredients. It's corny but I also like to spend a minute just admiring how pretty each roll looks. Some of them are like works of art! Just those few moments of looking at the food before you eat it gives you a minute to remember to pace yourself and savor what you're eating. Great video, as usual! Love from Maryland!

[@MindOverMunch]

+Meredith Kavanagh YES! Great point- take time to look at the food and think about how it's made! This is so true.

[@TC1298.5]

Knowledge is power. But wow! My sushi loving heart is broken knowing I've been eating the nutritional equivalent of Big Macs. Ugh!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

+Melissa TC well, keep in mind that ingredients matter, so you're probably getting more "quality" ingredients with the sushi, but the macronutrients can be about the same depending on the roll which is mind blowing!

[@danielt6689]

It's the American sushi rolls that are so unhealthy. They may be popular here, but they aren't served in Japan. The Japanese do not consider them sushi.

[@Raweeha18]

Your videos are helping me make informed food choices ☺ Could you possibly make a video about Indian food? Since its so popular we surely need to be more aware of what we're eating!

[@MindOverMunch]

Great idea! I love Indian food :) thank you!

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

Raweeha Abdul Rab I want a video like that as well. I am originally Indian myself so it has been years since I’ve eaten at an Indian restaurant. I’m from the American Midwest so the restaurants are not all that great for Indian food unless he go to the East Coast or the West Coast. Paneer is a type of farmers cheese but it’s extremely high in protein. Puros and pakoras and samosas are always drenched in a while so it’s better to buy them and fry them yourself or to make them at home. Most Currys are OK as long as they don’t have a ton of cream in them. Wisen roti should be OK as long as you eat smaller amounts. Dal is usually safe. Desserts with the least amount of oil are keer and halva. You probably don’t want the ones that have been deprived and drenched in Surap. If you eat at an Indian restaurant occasionally you should be OK but if you eat more regularly, be extremely careful. Instead of drinking calories, just stick to water. Eat responsibly folks!

[@ashley-px4qt]

I typically just get salmon and tuna sashimi with a cup of brown rice on the side. My stomach doesn't like to have a huge amount of protein and no carbs..this way I get a nigiri style meal with healthy carbs!

[@MindOverMunch]

+Ashley that's perfect!

[@nazihaaysheh6797]

U have no idea how helpful this was!! I love sushi but,I'm always so confused as to what's actually good for me!!

[@clararose1795]

You should try Oldstyle Hawaiian rice by Sunwest Foods, it's brown rice that's been "lightly milled," so the bran and germ are still intact, but the taste is closer to white rice. I go through 50 lbs of it a year!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thanks for the tip!

[@plushbats]

i'm getting sushi tonight and i've been really stressed about messing up my diet but this video really helped, thank you!

[@MindOverMunch]

Don't stress!!! :) Glad you found it useful! Enjoy your dinner!

[@destinydavis2898]

This video is so enlightening! Whenever I go out to eat, I almost always tend to get sushi and up until recently, I just assumed all sushi was healthy for you! Thanks for sharing this information with me, I'll be sure to try the healthier options next time!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad you found it useful! You aren't the only one who was deceived, I was for a long time, too! I still order the indulgent sushi I love a lot of times, but I like to at least be aware haha :)

[@abigaillun4537]

Hey +Mind Over Munch,can you do a on the go/car ride snacks ideas?

[@MindOverMunch]

+Abigail Lun Great idea! Thank you!

[@BudgetGirl]

Excellent video! I only learned to like sushi a couple of years ago, and MAY have slightly overestimated how healthy it is. Fortunately, I only eat it occasionally as it can get quite pricey. Thanks! Great breakdown.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Budget Girl OMG I know... it can be SO expensive! The place we went in this video we love because you can get full rolls (like full dragon or california rolls) for $5 at happy hour, which is like over 1/2 the price! It's amazing! But still only for every now and then health wise lol...

[@BudgetGirl]

So. Jealous... I just moved to rural arkansas and have to drive 1.5 hours away to even find a place that SERVES sushi. And I wish it were $5! Ah well, I'll move back to a big city one day, and in the meantime at least I'm not tempted to bust the budget all the time! :-)

[@SafiyaLin]

WOW. I'm so late.. but this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL . Thank you soo much.

[@libraarc]

I love how you are so relatable! Maki san offer white or brown rice in your sushi! Yup brown rice is abit drier but I prefer it for a healthier choice

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you, Nicole! :) :)

[@kimberlymorales686]

I can't believe i've lived 20 years without knowing that I can wrap my sushi in cucumber!

[@MindOverMunch]

it's such a fun twist on regular sushi, tastes so fresh too!

[@imsofrickenpissed]

I just discovered this series and it's so helpful! Going out to eat with friends on a whim always leaves me feeling helpless! You hit so many of the chain restaurants that I find myself out, and it's really helpful to learn about some healthy options! I've tried to sort through the nutrition info at a lot of these places on my own, but I don't really know what I'm doing so I was pretty lost. Thanks so much for your help! Love your channel!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm happy to hear these videos are helpful for you! Going out to eat definitely can be a struggle. Glad to have you here in this community!! :)

[@kimberlyjackson9955]

Thank you for this video! I would love it if you would show us how to make a cucumber roll.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Kimberly Jackson I need to learn! I've tried a dozen times but getting that cucumber sliced so thinly and uniformly is tough lol! I need a sushi chef to teach me!

[@terrybickerton1455]

[@jadegreen8560]

I really loved the tip about slowing down, I feel like I don't enjoy my food at all anymore. I just eat it quick so I can move on to the next thing. It is important to enjoy the little things in life! That sushi actually looked pretty good! I've never had sushi before but I'm definitely up to trying it now. Alyssia you've made a believer out of me, you sold that sushi girl! Haha see you Monday ❤

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so with you Jade, I eat so quickly sometimes- I have to remind myself to relax and enjoy :) we need to chill out lol!

[@Michellehjj]

When I go out to a sushi restaurant, I take coconut aminos with me as a soy sauce substitute and it tastes delicious. I also squeeze lemon on it.

[@MindOverMunch]

same!! Love it!

[@auralglory]

I just wanna say how much I (and I know all your other viewers!) appreciate the effort, research, and editing skills you put in to your videos. It must take you hours! I basically binge watch/listen your channel on my third monitor the whole day while I'm at work lol. Hope your journey leads you closer to a cruelty-free lifestyle.

[@msclutz15]

I work at Wegmans and a separate company does the sushi but they have every roll in white rice or a brown rice quinoa blend! And it's really actually good.

[@MindOverMunch]

+msclutz15 that's so awesome!! I really need to find some quinoa sushi!

[@knitinknit]

Also with sushi, there are all kinds of pickled vegetables you can eat along with it, and as you had at the beginning of your meal, the edamame. I was waiting for you to do Spam musubi, but I guess that's self explanatory enough, lol.

[@MindOverMunch]

+knitinknit Great suggestion! I love edamame :)

[@mezziebee8447]

I mostly get Sashimi! But i also love getting a seaweed salad!

[@SonaliMankaSingh]

Seaweed salad is amazing!!!

[@mezziebee8447]

yea i get a bowl of the seaweed salad and a bunch of ginger

[@MindOverMunch]

+Mezzie Baxter Oh yum!!!

[@mezziebee8447]

Yea it is good! and the chiefs know that i don't always like the sauce, so they try to find other ways!

[@chaole1000]

I don't eat a lot of sushi, but I do eat TONS of poke.this videos makes me reevaluate my spicy mayo sauce

[@MindOverMunch]

I love poke! Spicy mayo sauce is delicious but can be questionable nutritionally...

[@junookubo4188]

Sushi in Japan is ‘’ healthier’’ but the fried ones are not healthy! The sushi in Japan are always taken from fresh seas! It’s actually a law in Japan if you are going to build a sushi chain you have to have a degree in culinary school. And to always pick up fresh and the whole fish on the market. So people in Japan always know what is in their food. Which is really helpful for us!

[@cynthia333]

Debunking dim sum would be a great video to go along with this sushi one. Regarding sushi, I would suggest ordering things like a seaweed salad and other types of Japanese specialty small dishes to sort of distract the palette away from the fried less healthy choices.

[@leonkhameson4733]

Spicy doesn't necessarily mean spicy mayo. It depends on the restaurant and it it's always advisable to ask the restaurant if they have any mayo in their menu items.

[@MindOverMunch]

neat!

[@dirtybloodyheart]

aw man! my 2 favs are the spicy tuna and the philadelphia. I always get them together.

[@MindOverMunch]

those are two of my favorites too!

[@someguy2135]

She was eating edamame as an appetizer at the restaurant. Delish, addictive, and good for you. Maybe the healthiest thing at the restaurant. Trader Joe's sells it in the freezer section.

[@gretathegarbo]

I make a deconstructed sushi bowl with the sushi vinegar etc, but with cauliflower "rice" - just a cauliflower whizzed in a food processor and sautéed in a little bit of sesame oil and water. It's yummy, you don't have to muck around rolling it up and I promise the cauliflower "rice" is nicer than rice anyway! We load it up with veg and either tofu or lean chicken breast. Try it sometime!

[@MindOverMunch]

+Ruby Roberts oh that sounds delicious!! Love that! Thanks for sharing :) I will have to try!

[@Metroid250]

I usually order the sashimi lunch and ask for brown rice instead of white. I actually have no idea how much of each macro there is, but I know it's high in protein, low in fat, and decent in carbs. I find it perfect for me because it's 10-15 pieces of assorted fish (usually 5 different types) with wasabi/ginger along with a cup of brown rice (I find the nutty flavor and stickiness of brown rice delicious!) For sauce, I usually just order the ginger sauce that the place has, I don't know if it's worse than soy sauce but I only grab a minimal amount and since you said that the fish absorbs less of it, I'm slightly relieved now.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Metroid250 absolutely! Soy sauce gets a bad reputation but it's unfortunate because if you're using just a little to add flavor and if you don't consume much salt in the rest of your diet it really isn't a huge deal :) If you like sashimi then you're already ahead of most! Such a healthy choice!

[@tracyherwig8334]

I didn't think it was click BAIT but I thought this title was a little FISHY. I wasn't gonna CARP on it, though. Turns out you took us to SCHOOL on sushi! 😜 sorry Mama Munch! Love your videos!

[@TheConfidentDancer]

Hi Alyssia! First off, I absolutely love your videos and ebooks (I own them all)! I was wondering if you could potentially make a video addressing the arsenic content of rice. I really enjoy brown rice and it seems to be a healthier option, however, I have read a lot of articles recently that suggest it should be avoided altogether because of its natural arsenic content. I would really love to hear your opinion on the subject if you have time! Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@MindOverMunch]

+twinstalkballet93 Thank you so much! That is amazing :) Arsenic content of rice is touchy and tough to talk about because there isn't really enough research to draw appropriate conclusions. The fact is, there IS arsenic in most rice products, and we do need to be aware, but it's pretty challenging to advise how much/little to eat. Most sources say to keep it less than 3 servings per week for adults. I've seen more sources saying that white rice has LESS arsenic than brown, and that both organic and non-organic varieties are equally affected. BUT I've also read that rinsing your rice before using it can cut down the arsenic quite a bit. My best advice would be to limit your intake, or use a substitute. Basmati is supposedly lower in arsenic. Other grains are great choices, too- quinoa, buckwheat and millet are all very low-arsenic grains, so if you consume a lot of rice I'd suggest using another grain at home and only enjoy true rice as a treat. Eliminating processed foods with rice is also a good step, and of course the less processed foods we can consume in general is always a good thing :) Hope this helps! Cheers!

[@danielt6689]

TwinTalksBallet - Looking at the Japanese population, you can make a pretty good argument that rice - at least Japanese rice - is safe to eat. The Japanese consume about 96 lbs. (uncooked weight) of rice per person each year. If there was significant arsenic levels in the rice, you would expect to see some detrimental effects on the population. Contrary to this, the Japanese people are very healthy. They are ranked number 1 in the world in longevity.

[@sharichristine3164]

[@peachydsi]

what? people eat side dishes with sushi rolls? I didn’t 😂

[@Idasmurf]

I always order 8 pieces of vegan maki. At my sushi joint that means maki with avocado, bell pepper, some pickled vegetable (I haven't asked which one) and cucumber. And I also have a tablespoon or two of tamari and miso soup. I feel like that's fairly healthy

[@MindOverMunch]

that sounds yummy!

[@Msihearthellokitty96]

I like to make my own sushi as the fish that is sold here is actually much lower in heavy metals and other poisonous things. As for the rice I LOVE cauliflower. If I want it to stay together I can add some corn starch to it. Not many calories and tons of nutrition. I could just cauliflower everything, literally. It's been my favorite thing to eat since I knew what it was

[@MindOverMunch]

[@danielt6689]

Don't know how it got its name, but "sushi rice" is just plain, every day Japanese (short grain) white rice. When seasoned for sushi, it's glazed with a light coating of rice-wine-vinegar and sugar.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@EmsIsFab]

For me sushi is a treat, because of the prices up here in Canada. My favourites are avocado, carrot, cucumber, and shiitake in my rolls. I sometimes eat a yam roll, which has tempura yam, but again it's a once in awhile thing. When I make sushi at home I leave out the sugar in the rice OR add just a pinch. And then I use fresh veggies as the filling. Now as for soya sauce? Yeah I like my normal soya, hehe! When I'm with my Celiac friend though we use tamari.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Emily Donnelly (My Own Damn Show) that's smart to leave out the sugar, does it still have the same consistency?

[@EmsIsFab]

Mind Over Munch sugar i more for season the rice, but I still use short grain calrose rice for my sushi, so it's about the same!

[@ajcdevial675]

Could you show us how to make California rolls and different types of sushi? They all look yummy; I used to make regular sushi but because we were a seafood bar in a supermarket, we didn't do anything more than the standard smoked chicken, salmon and tuna rolls.

Could you do a video on healthy energy drinks or make a recipe that is packed full of energy that is healthy? I am in college and I don't like coffee too much... I want some alternatives without having to sacrifice consuming so much sugar!

Can you do a video on healthy and unhealthy sandwich meats? And maybe show us a few alternatives to replace the meats??

[@MindOverMunch]

+He Ro thank you for the suggestion :)

Hi! Just want to say that I'm a big fan of your video's. I love sushi, but this video opened my eyes... The Rice/cucumber substitute sounds delicious (why didn't I think of that?!) I'm definitly going to try that... Keep up doing the good job! Love From Belgium
