The hardest part about not eating rice, is actually not able to eat fried rice. I just love the eggs, the green onions and the BBQ pork all mixed up with dried fluffy rice. It feels luxurious! It smells amazing!
Ever since I went Keto/Low Carb, I ended my love relation with rice. Although cauliflower rice fits my diet, the texture can get too mushy. The worst thing about pure cauliflower rice is, when it gets old, it smell so bad!
What save the day was when Chef Saman came up with this Persian Keto Quinoa + Cauliflower rice. Mixing a small amount of quinoa into the cauliflower rice makes this rice bouncy, and crunchy. It is a great rice base for ANY fried rice or just eat on its own. A "must have" in any low carb/keto fridge! Check out the recipe for the secret ingredient. And finally, you can have bouncy, fluffy taste rice again. When I first ate this, it was so good... I wanted to cry. Try this if you miss your rice, and let us know how it goes.
