Somebody was telling me about a fried rice recipie they use on the paleo diet. Instead of rice they use cauliflower grated on a cheese grater.

I tried the grated cauliflower pizza crust one time and it was terrible. I'm trying to cut carbs but I will not take any shortcuts for pizza.

Cauliflower pizza crust does sound terrible. I've used it to make "rice" for a burrito and it turned out pretty good.
As for the noodles, I really like them. Rinsing them off helps. Being tofu, they do soak up flavoring if you let them marinate. I like to marinate using sriracha, salt, pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, sometimes ginger.
If I forget to marinade, I use some hoisin and stir fry for just a few minutes in a wok on high heat.

Mini pizzas with portobello cap as crust?
My Cauliflower crust was pretty flimsy. I'd like to try it out one more time though.

Sounds iffy, but if you boil cauliflower, throw it in the blender, and then add whatever you would add to mashed potatos, you'll be surprized.

I've posted about them several times. Really good with Thai curry. Good in pho. Good under crawfish etouffee. Good with lots of stuff!

Oh, and cauliflower crust pizza.
Posted on 11/14/13 at 9:07 pm to Darla Hood
Looks awesome. Was it flimsy? Recipe?
Posted on 11/14/13 at 9:10 pm to Darla Hood
Pho looks good

embo, honestly, cauliflower crust pizza is NOT going to slice the way real crust does. When it was hot, it cut into pieces fine and the thinner edges were crust-like. I enjoyed it, but it is not pizza crust.
When it's cold, you just better like the way it tastes.
So, yes, it's kind of good (because the toppings are awesome). And it's kind of a replacement
TigerWise, thanks, but the pho is not home made. I got take out and used the shirataki noodles in place of the noodles that came with the pho. It is a good replacement (make sure you rinse it thoroughly).

I don't blame you. It's just too cheap to not buy it already made. If I'm trying to avoid carbs I just sub veggies for the noodles. The noodles aren't the reason I like pho. It's the broth that keeps me going back for more.
Posted on 11/15/13 at 6:12 am to TigerWise
Agreed that it's the broth and the herbs and the spices that are the main pull of pho. But dangit, those noodles are pretty damn good, too.
Sometimes having the substitute ready and waiting can stop me from indulging in the real thing.

I just flavored the Shirataki
put meat in pan on medium
emptied noodle packet into a clear stein glass. hot tap water, rinse,repeat,rinse repeat, then filled it with hottest tap water to sit
added 8 shakes of black pepper and a pretty hefty pour of kosher salt(guess 1.5 tbls)
grabbed a butcher knife and stir/cut the noodles in the stein.....then let it sit for about 7 mins while I finished the meat and sauce. drained the noodles then dumped them in pan, mix and then plate.
the noodle soaked up both the salt and pepper...i coughed from the pepper after my first bite....but was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the noodle, thinking to myself....people would pay for this shite.
again, I'm not a cook, but Shirataki is closer to noodles than diet DrPepper is to DrPepper.

I've rinsed thoroughly and microwaved them and other times I've rinsed thoroughly and put them in boiling water. I thought there was a cleaner taste with the boiling water method. Sounds like you've found a way that you like them.
Where do you buy your noodles? I've only ever seen them at Drug Emporium (Lafayette).
