Cauliflower Rice - Yuck

Green Giant is the brand I had tonight, same microwave directions. The texture is pure mush like oatmeal and the flavor is like burned broken glass and blood stained flip flops in a white trash burn barrel.

Then put it on a skillet and roast it.

Does that cook out the flavor of a dead dog's taint jerkied in mercury?

Cauli rice is God awful unless you’re buying Trader Joe’s cauli fried rice…even then you need to doctor it up.

If you’re not following a low carb diet, it’s going to taste bad.

I go through periods where I can’t stand cauliflower rice and times when I think it’s pretty good. The trick for me is getting it as dry as possible. I buy it already riced and I microwave per directions. Then I squeeze out as much water as I can before putting it in a dry skillet at medium to low, stirring it around until it isn’t discernibly moist. And then use it for fried rice. Sometimes a sort of jambalaya fried rice and sometimes a shrimp fried rice.

Easier for me to like is mashed cauliflower. It’s really good as a sub in rice and gravy.

For me, some dishes cauli rice goes shockingly well with, like red beans [heretic!!].
My efforts with fried rice have been passable but look forward to trying this to improve a bit.

That's exactly what I did in OP. Next time I'll try toasting it after microwaving it per above instructions.

My stepdaughter eats it, but to me it looks about as appetizing as one of those Styrofoam looking rice cakes.

Honestly, it works great for me with fish. I don't really do 'mock' things on my low carb diet, but it goes good with things that you'd like a lil rice with.
