    I have put frozen cauliflower rice in an air fryer dish , and cooked in the air fryer first before frying it. This helps with drying the cauliflower out.

    Secret to cauliflower rice is to dry it out. When dry it absorbs whatever flavor. I’ll cook 6-8 packages and spread on baking sheet. Put in oven or just in fridge. Drastically reduces water. Makes great stir fry or Mexican rice

    My fave form of cauliflower rice (altho fresh is obvi best) is the vacuum pack stuff… I get the FullGreen brand from Walmart on the shelf … 100% cauliflower… I think in the canned veggies aisle. It has way less moisture than the frozen. Then I proceed to also dry in a skillet like here… takes less time. This week I made Nori rolls with it… 100% seaweed sheets are 1 carb and a huge source of iodine and b12. I also think adding sauteed onion with it covers any funky flavor… cheers people :)

      There are actual reasons for avoiding soy, just as there are reasons for avoiding seed oils and many other things we should avoid.
      Soy's phytoestrogens have been linked to issues with thyroid function, cancers and tumors (especially thyroid, breast and uterine), and infertility. Soy interferes with absorption of minerals and digestion of protein. And it can be toxic to the liver.
      It's hardly like the "microwave is the devil" joke and it's not such a "little thing" to someone already suffering from thyroid or digestive issues or infertility.
      But, yes, she's absolutely spot on about the carrots.

    This tasted great, I started looking into cauliflower today because of its low calorie. The 2 eggs might have added 150-160 calories BUT! As a whole this dish would have been more with regular rice and I’ve been eating too much white rice as of late. I left the sugar out and still tasted sweet, probably the carrots doing its thing.

  • @stokesjo82

    Typically sesame seed oil is added at the end of food preparation due to it loosing flavor when cooked. When you made this dish did your oil lose flavor?

  • @TheEmaile

    Didn’t know that about salt. I’m not low carb or keto, but had to change my diet drastically 3 weeks ago after developing hives and histamine intolerance. I ate nothing but veggies and some chicken (and oats, once) for a couple of weeks. Then one evening last week, I felt weak and had a weird headache so I feared my blood pressure might be going up from all the salt I was using on my veggies since it was the only way I could flavor my food. I checked my blood pressure and it was 80/60. I was afraid my adrenals or thyroid might be failing. But I also felt low blood sugar. This explains it.

With such little liquid to work with, the vegetables barely cooked and I had to 'dry out' the cauliflower for so long that it left a kind of dried out smell, on the cauliflower itself and nevermind the veg's not cooking. Next time I am going to pre-steam my veggies for a few minutes before adding them to the dried out cauliflower.

      Cruciferous vegetables, which include cauliflower, do smell like farts. It's not unnecessary to mentiom that because she is expressly telling us that there is a way to make it more palatable (since it's really popular on a keto diet and its a healthy veggie). She's making a joke about the soy sauce being the devil because a lot of keto people act like fundamentalist nutcases on what is "keto" and isn't. Soy is supposedly bad for us according to those people (unless you have a food sensitivity or allergy to soy, it's really fine).
