lK Lo-Carb RICE!!
This is a HUGE deal for me. I LOVE RICE!! My mom and I used to eat rice all the time growing up with onions fried in butter, then prepared rice thrown in, topped with Soy Sauce. Literally best meal EVER…
…unless, of course, you’re trying to lose fat.
Well, I am trying to lose fat, but I miss rice so much!! I missed it so much, in fact, that I started doing some research, where I was intrigued to learn that people have been making it out of raw cauliflower in a food processor. Now let me tell you, I BEGAN THIS VENTURE MOST SKEPTICAL.
I ended this venture MOST IMPRESSED.
Just look!!! Fluffy, firm grains of rice!!!!
RICE!!

Tell me you’re not impressed, too???
Ok, here’s how to do it (I had to do a couple trial runs to get it right)
1. Put fresh cauliflower in food processor NOTE: cut the florets pretty small. When I did it with large florets, I found that it was kinda pureeing the stuff at the bottom, while still keeping huge chunks up top of cauliflower. Absolutely no “rice” consistency at all.
2. Process till rice-sized
3. Put in a dish and microwave for 6 minutes to “steam your rice,” and, I imagine, get rid of any bacteria in it, too.

4. Fluff and enjoy!!!
I can’t BELIEVE how real it tasted!!!!! I was MAJORLY impressed!!!
The only thing I read that you CAN’T substitute very well in, is things like soups and gumbo-type recipes. But if a bed of rice is what you miss when having stir fry, this is a VERY comparable substitution!!
You’re welcome ;- )

I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
amazing!! My husband loved it!
Is curry supportive? Or at least not terrible? I’ve been craving Thai (and the boyfriend who can eat anything and not gain an ounce had pad thi last night). My favorite is red or green curry – if eaten without rice or with your awesome cauliflower rice – would it be okay? Thanks!
It’s not too bad, though it usually contains palm sugar, but it’s vinegar, garlic, onions, oil, etc. and some curries have coconut milk…let me see what I can do
I think it’d not TERRIBLY bad, but I’m going to try making it with agave and see what I come up with. Thanks for the inspiration!
[...] don’t you miss rice?! I mean aside from the lo-carb rice I make, what option is going to give you HIGH PROTEIN, and all eight essential amino acids? [...]
