I’m still on a no carb diet which means I’m still not eating sandwiches. SNIFF. However I did find some replacements that are a quick, tasty and affordable alternatives!! As you know, (or might not know), I recently started a new job and even though I’m not crazy about the commute, I am THRILLED that the office is located near a lot of Asian Food. SCORE.
This is what I’ve been picking up lately for lunch.
$3.99
Basically it’s an assortment of spicy radish, seaweed salad (?), beansprouts and eggplant. All I know is that it’s tasty, it has no carbs and it’s cheap!!
$3.99
This spicy tofu dish provides me with some much needed protein. Can’t complain.
$1.50 each
These triangles contain a seaweed wrap, a filling (salmon) and a triangle of sticky rice. I’m in love with these triangles even if I can’t figure out how to properly wrap it up. Don’t get me started. I need a lesson despite the fact that there’s instructions on the wrapepr.
I’ve also discovered Shiso Tree in Jtown and went running there after reading a blog entry from The Hungry Cat. I ordered an amazing meal for $8. Sadly I didnt have my good camera with me that day but will be returning!!

maybe you covered it before but the rice in the sticky nori triangles – aren”t they carbs too?
thanks for leaving a comment!! You are 100 percent right. Those rice triangles involve carbs….I cheat once in a while!!
I LOVE seaweed salad – yummy and filling!
