Low-carb poké bowl with carrot rice
I have been sharing a bit different recipes than usual on Karlijn’s Kitchen since I follow a SIBO diet. And today, I have another SIBO diet-proof recipe for you: a low-carb poké bowl with salmon.
No worries if these recipes are not your cup of tea, I will share normal low FODMAP recipes again too. But for now, it is nice for me if I can share some SIBO and low-carb recipes with you that fit my own diet.
And from what I heard from my readers, you are also interested in seeing SIBO-proof and low-carb recipes, so then it’s a win-win for now.
How to make a SIBO diet-proof poké bowl
The bi-phasic SIBO diet that I follow is a low carb low FODMAP diet. Poké bowls are one of my favorite kinds of meals, so I wanted to make a SIBO-proof version of those.
You can eat a little bit of rice on the SIBO diet, about 60 grams of cooked rice per meal, but not a lot.
Therefore, I decided to make the basis of the poké bowl with carrot rice. To make carrot rice, you simply put carrots in a food processor to make them into crumbs.
You can choose to make your bowl only with carrot rice if you want to have a low-carb poké bowl. Or you can add a little bit of white rice as well, to make the poké bowl a bit more filling.
For vegetables and toppings, I also add cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado, a nori sheet, and spring onion to the bowl.
As a protein source, I pick smoked salmon. But this low carb poké bowl also tastes great with fresh tuna, salmon or grilled chicken.
Usually, soy sauce is quite an important ingredient to add to a poké bowl as a seasoning. On the SIBO diet that I follow, soy sauce is not allowed, unfortunately.
Therefore, I make my own dressing with mayonnaise, fresh ginger, homemade Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. If you don’t follow the SIBO diet, you can of course also add some soy sauce to your bowl.
All of these ingrediënts together make a very flavorful and healthy poké bowl!

Notes
*Omit if you are still in the limited phase of the SIBO diet.
