Can we talk for a minute about "Cauliflower Rice"

Cauliflower is cauliflower. It tastes good and is pretty dang healthy.
It is NOT rice, pizza, mashed potatoes, or anything like that. So stop with the cauliflower "rice". Just call it small pieces of cauliflower!
Ok, I will call it "small pieces of cauliflower used in the same way as rice" to appease you I guess.
Or normal people can just call it cauliflower rice.
Normal people eat actual rice. :flowerforyou:
Yes, they do, and some like cauliflower and all it's versatile goodness as well. And some of us like both, even at the same time! gasp!0 -
"I don't like it when people don't eat the same things I do. I enjoy belittling them because it makes me feel better about myself. You're wrong to call little pieces of rice-sized and rice-shaped cauliflower 'cauliflower rice' and I'm going to make sure you know it! IT IS NOT RICE! IT IS NOT POTATO! You're not NORMAL!!11!!!"
Holy crap. Can people just have a conversation about something they like to eat without others coming in and telling them that it's stupid?0 -
Why not just eat cauliflower if you like it, eat rice if you like it, and please don't ruin pizza crust
Hmmm...so you're telling everyone to eat what they like, but to not use what they like in place of regular pizza crust...
I just dislike the idea of calling it pizza- it's changed so much at that point I'm not sure it's pizza- pizza is pizza - that's my only downside... I don't' care what they use.I'm making sushi with cauliflower rice this week! I sub cauliflower for all rice and potato dishes.
That actually sounds amazing. I would NEVER be bothered to do it- but damn does it sound good!0 -

I tried a version of the garlic mashed cauliflower recipe once - it promised that your family would never know it wasn't potatoes, so I did it to test that theory. My husband about DIED when he took a bite. I don't like the flavor of cauliflower at all, so I thought it was gross but it was worth it to get a mouthful into my husband's mouth for laughs if nothing else! :-)0

that's actually a fabulous idea- i should try it- mostly because my bf is picky as hell and even if he didn't eat it- watching is reaction would be pretty amazing.0 -

No, they eat what tastes good and works for their health. Cauliflower rice (notice that everyone has called it cauliflower rice, no one is trying to trick you into eating rice) is that for many people. People eating cauliflower rice doesn't take rice off your plate or something.
It's like a bunch of children stamping their feet about broccoli in this thread.0 -

Why does NO ONE make broccoli rice? Broccoli is awesome! *stomps feet*0 -
I love Cauliflower Rice!! Taste sooo good!!!0

I love all forms of cauliflower but I gave the cauliflower rice a try with my stir fry last night. DELICIOUS! And you can really work in the flavors to pair with what else you are making,. So i added ginger, onion and garlic. It was so tasty.
And would you say it's tastier than actual rice?
Well i wouldnt use it as a replacement, not trying to replace rice. I feel like it pairs better than rice with certain things, like stir fry.0 -
This post came right on time. I was going to ask how to make my veggie stir fry lunch have less calories. I'll have to try this. The other question is how to make tasty with less sodium. Right now I'm using Kikkomon Teryaki sauce.
I use low sodium tamari or soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a spot of honey or pineapple. <---- teriyaki
I personally like to sear a ring of pineapple to go with my stirfry.
Just look for the soy sauce with the least salt, and you should be good, if you are using dried garlic or ginger, make sure there is no added salt.0 -
Make sure you dry it off really well after you wash it, use the lowest setting and pulse!I think I like cauliflower better than actual rice :P
I prefer it when it is just roughly chopped though. Whenever I've tried to make it in a food processor, it comes out like a paste.0 -
For me the cauliflower "rice" is more about variety in my meals.
I have recently found that I may be gluten intolerant so I may f- up pizza and try out this cauliflower thing. Im scared though!0 -
I fry mine in olive oil and soya souse, then sprinkle on some Italian spices. It's pretty tasty and works good with fish.
Ribs on the other hand, need sticky rice

Wow, who cares what its called, really?!
Thanks OP, I did this all the time on my last cut, and totally forgot about it this time around.0 -

I really love cauliflower rice, too. I really don't get why people get all "ERMAHGERD, EAT ACTUAL RICE, NAWT CAWLIFLOWER!" about it. Like white rice is super flavorful and enjoyable? That's a big nope-nope. I think cauliflower rice has more flavor, better texture, and has a lot of fiber and nutrients. Not everyone has to love rice and potatoes, folks.0

Marking this so I can try the recipes! Thanks!0

Like potatoes are potatoes and I will always eat them! But rice is sort of a snore personally. I have a certain dish I will always make with rice, as the cauliflower flavor might not work. I have a friend who has type 1 diabetes and this would definitely make her happy if she came over for stir fry, because she wont have to shoot herself full of insulin!0

I recently used riced cauliflower to make a keto-style pizza crust. LOVED it. Too bad my food processor died yesterday

A food processor is way better, but a cheese grater can do it in a pinch.0 -
I live in Korea and see amazing things made from rice. Sometimes, I eat a meal where everything on the plate either contains rice or is made from rice.
The only thing I see made from cauliflower is cauliflower......if you can find it at all that is.0 -
:laugh:0

Thanks! I'm going to give it a try.0
-
Umm we make broccoli rice and its awesome; just a nice change of pace and a great way to get in some extra nutrients and fiber 0

I'm looking forward to trying this. I've made cauliflower pizza base and loved it and I made cauli mash the other night for a shepherd's pie. It was delish. I've never done the rice though.
Off to the supermarket to get cauli....0 -
Here's a tasty looking recipe that uses Jicama, rather that cauliflower for rice:

Edit: whoops, thought that recipe used cauliflower, it uses jicama. Of course, this recipe uses cauliflower and such:

Definitely going to have to try it. 0

I haven't eaten cauliflower since I was a little kid visiting my granny's house, so I've always thought of it like an "old person" food. MFP has seriously opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of cauliflower. The pizza base especially sounds worth a try. Mmm pizza. In any event, is it possible that cauliflower is the most versatile food ever? Any other contenders for that top honour?0
