- Cauliflower rice is an integral part of a keto weight loss journey, but let's face it, at the end of the day... it's still cauliflower. Is your cauli-rice lacking texture or flavor?

I am Persian and I make cauliflower rice with different Persian dishes. I dry the cauliflower on the over and add butter and Safran. One day I open my Persian keto restaurant👍❤️
A Keto Persian restaurant? Now that sounds like an amazing idea May! Yum! -Em
My husband is Persian and he really misses basmati rice. I’m definitely going to try your method. I think he will be very pleasantly surprised.
I’d settle for a Persian keto recipe - UA-cam channel. (For now anyway)
Whoa I'd be there all the time!!! Persian food...mmmm
How long and at what temp do you dry the riced cauliflower? I’m going to try to make biryani with it.
I brought Cauliflower rice to my Chinese restaurant and told the owner had to make it using your dry skillet method. I asked him to make fried rice with it. I was with a bunch of my h.s. friends.....8 of us. I'm 68 so we go back a long time. Everyone eating the "fried rice" didn't know it was Cauliflower. THANK YOU!!!
It blew them away when I told them.
That’s awesome! I wish more restaurants would offer it as a rice replacement 🤗
“And you know what, it’s all we have” love that realistic outlook!
Thank you Sara!! -Em
I've really missed my rice with cajun dishes, chicken bog and asian dishes. I have not been able to enjoy cauliflower rice no matter the preparation, but after watching this video, I went at it one more time. It worked.... It changed the texture and cleared the odor. It really worked to dry cook it. This has opened up my menu and selection of keto meals. Thanks very much. !!
I've been doing your dry cook cauli rice ever since I ran onto it a few months ago. BUT I remove it from its bag to cook it in the microwave for the 6 min. Lots of the moisture is gone by the time I put it in the pan and add my seasonings back in. The bag holds the moisture in while in the microwave. Cooking it in a bowl out of the bag saves lots of time in the drying out process.
I appreciate this info, I just recently started keto, thanks!
Oh my Cheezits! I made cream “corn” with riced cauliflower and corn bread flavor! Soooo yummy and satisfying 🤤
I like to mix riced cauliflower with hemp hearts and then add butter, sesame oil and coconut aminos. For me, the hemp hearts give it the texture and chewiness of brown rice and I love that.
Ive never heard of that before, what a great idea!! -Em
Love love that idea!!
Great idea, brown rice is my fave. Thanks for the tip!
I just stumbled on your videos and binged them all this week. You two are the best! Thanks for being normal and not keto-snobs. Also, thank you for making beautiful videos where neither of you talk too loud, look sickly and give Keto a bad name, cook food in your workout clothes, or use exclusive products regular people can't find. I teach 4th grade and look forward to getting home to unwind with your videos because you're funny! I hope you get lots more subscribers and views soon!
Thank you so much Kay!! We try our best lol! -Em
Omg. You totally hit it on the head! Non keto snobs... relatable normal easy to identify with girls! I would have totally going out with them in high-school lol
@@MissBobJo all true! On one UA-cam channel, the husband yells into the camera like a 3rd grade boy and his wife always has dark circles under her eyes, and another guy cooks in his tank top, yuck. and most think nothing of racking up a $300 food bill at Costo every week. This is where I belong. :-)
@@KayKeneetit Hahaha!!! Tank top!! Hahahaha I know JUST who you mean!! I don’t care for his tank top but he really does have some super-good recipes! But yeah, these ladies are just the girls next door! I grew up loving Doris Day movies, still do. They remind me of the persona she projects in most of her movies. Wholesome, good, not perfect by any means, but just real and fun. And they have such a terrific (and doable) attitude toward living this lifestyle!
Haha🥳 I did the same thing when I 🥇first found them over a year ago. They are so cute😊❣️🍛🍚
This is the way to go... my two biggest pet peeves have been the dampness and smell of cauli-rice. But my wife and I have been frying it, making it into a cheesy chicken bake, using it in soups, and I used it as a binder in my last meatloaf...delicious.
Never thought to use cauliflower rice in meatloaf, thanks for the tip Donald! -Em
Ummmmmm in meatloaf sounds deeeeelish
Omg, I never thought of it as a substitute binder! I could put this in kababs.
Nice suggestions. O use it for stuffed cabbage.
I did this process with nasty riced cauliflower I had in my freezer. Omg. Totally totally changed it completely. I added just a bit of chili garlic sauce... it was way better than even the steak!
Thank you!!!!!
I’m so glad that you liked it Bobbie! Cauliflower can be a game changer for Keto if cooked this way! Chili garlic sauce sounds amazing! ❤️-Sarah
Hi Bobbie! Can you share the chili garlic sauce? Either brand or recipie? I'm excited to hear back. Take care
I cut a small hole in bag after microwaving and wrap a towel around it and squeeze the water out then fry off the rest of the water,then season as you want,try it!
As we used to say in the 70's - right on !
It's true. When I dried the rice out before making 'fried rice', hubby ate it. You have no idea how huge this is...
The dry cook method is a game changer for sure! Need get my Asian mother to try some at some point, that would be the true test for us lol -Em
Yes, drying out the cauliflower is best. I actually like it better when it starts to get a little browned, it gives it a nutty/earthy flavor.
Great idea!
Dollar Tree sells cauliflower rice. It's actually as good as any brand I've tried and any attempt I've made from scratch.
I need to go to dollar tree!!! Everyone keeps mentioning the cauliflower rice and now I have to go! -Em
I made dry stir-fried cauliflower rice with shrimp and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
Made the Spanish cauliflower rice the other night and added hamburger and melted cheese over the top with low-carb tortillas and butter and sliced 🥑
DELISH!😋👍
That sounds deeelicoous! -Em
Niiiiicccee
Okay..., trying that!❤
That sounds great!
Thank you young ladies for teaching me how to make rice out of cauliflower, and, even some very delicious-sounding recipes! I'm an old 73 year old, who has only recently started keto. I appreciate this.
Yay so glad you liked the cauliflower! ❤️ thanks for watching!
When I take my cauliflower out of the microwave I drain it really good and press all the water out and that makes the dry cooking method a lot shorter... Thanks for the great recipes to try
Great tip Kristi! -Em
How do you drain it? Cheese cloth?
@@samanthafoxxx I usually cut a small hole in the edge of the bag and squeeze the water out through the hole while using my other fingers to block the cauliflower from coming out the whole. But cheese cloth may actually be easier
@@samanthafoxxx I just cut diagonally on one end and squeeze the water out of it
I was wondering about draining it first. Seems using a colander lined with cheesecloth or paper towels would work well!
Our best recipe w/cauliflower rice was making Mahlouba (a Middle Eastern dish). We cooked the beef roast in spices in the crock pot and fried some eggplant. Ee put the cauli rice in the bottom of a baking pan, put the fried eggplant down and then the beef on top and then we poured the beef soup over the meat and rice around half way. You can add more spice at this time, cover with foil and put it in the oven until the cauli rice (or real rice) is done. Making it with cauliflower made it 20x better than rice. All of the flavors mesh together and we cant stop eating it
Did you cook the cauliflower rice to dry like she did before putting it into your casserole?
I have made "potato salad" out of cauliflower rice. It's amazing. It has cooked eggs, cooked cauliflower, mustard, mayo, pickles and red onion all mixed up. I have to try your recipies next
Hi Barbara, Sounds like what I am looking for. Please share your recipe
What!!!!!!? My next endeavor!!!
@@janecurci3169 Low Carb Love has a recipe video. But, really, once your cauliflower is your desired texture, just use your regular potato salad recipe.
Great tip. I found a shelf stable cauliflower rice at Costco. I like to drain it, toss it with a little bit of kosher salt and leave it in the colander for about 15 minutes. The salt helps draw out moisture and seasons it a bit.
Hey ladies. I just found you last week and am already binge watching. Love how much fun you have together. I'm 7 weeks in to keto. Weighed last week, last 9 lbs. My husband, thank God, is doing this with me! Thank you for being so honest and thorough. God Bless!
Great job Nancy!!
I dry out the frozen rice directly into a frying pan from the freezer- (not into cooking in plastic) it really does change it! I usually use Trader Joe’s- even better if I can use the fresh one but I usually end up with frozen.
I love cilantro lime rice. I’m definitely trying this recipe!! And going to try the risotto too!! Thanks! I like you guys! You’re so real
You two are awesome! This dry cook method has changed everything for our family. My husband HATED cauliflower rice but not anymore! This method has expanded my menu!! Thank you!
Yay! We love reading that you are giving cauliflower rice another chance! ❤️ -Sarah
I learned a hack to remove most of the water from the cauliflower by snipping a small corner of the bag. You then use a towel to hold the bag and then squeeze the bag till no more water comes out. By doing this, you will have a lot less water to evaporate when preparing it.
I like those cauliflower rice blends to use to make fried rice. Just like you showed, I find that stir frying it in a wok for awhile really gives it a more rice-like texture.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Will definitely try it!
Love all the ideas for cauliflower rice, thank you.
I just made this and it is definitely a new favorite, thank you so much. We have to keep keto interesting!
Impressed! Looking forward to making great info!
Thank you for showing me how to make Cauliflower and the different options I will have using it. You guys are fantastic and you seem to know what we need to keep us going on our keto journey. Thank you
I am trying this tonight. Thank you for the recipe idea.
thanks for the upload. i'm looking forward to trying this method
You can skip the plastic exposure cooking in the microwave and use the pan to dry it out and the season it
I wondered about that - why do I need to cook it in the microwave? Can't I just fry it up? :)
Thank you so much for this recipe, it is delicious! I also used it in my keto enchiladas....A-mazing!😋 Love you guys, and your channel!
I love my dry pan cauliflower with Sazon seasoning! A much needed video
It’s so yummy, I wish people would give cauliflower rice a chance lol! -Em
Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience with lots of giggles too! 🤗
I gotta say, ladies when I tried Spanish cauliflower rice that I made it really really sucked. Lol, but when I tried the dry cooked method, your method, it came out fantastic. The key I found is to get as much moisture out of it as possible. When you eat Spanish rice, you don’t really taste the rice. You just taste the flavoring. And thanks for the tips.
The dry fry cauliflower was definitely a game changer for me! Thank you so much ladies! Keep up the good work❤️
So glad I found your channel, you guys have awesome ideas. You guys take keto recipes up a notch. Thank you for making keto more palpable and exciting. ❤️
Aww thank you!! -Em
Great great info! Thanks for the help! This will make my Keto hubby sooo happy! You two are a joy to watch!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Love love!!! You made cauliflower rice conversation fun! I will use this method Thanks!!😀
Great tips, THANK YOU! I'll be giving a try for sure.. looks delish!
Thank you Sarah!! ❤️-Em
You girls are great! Thank you for all the inspirations and your valuable time!
I am now preparing this dish for lunch to serve my husband!
Thanks for watching, Claire! Let us know if he likes it! -Sarah
Great video! I really like cauliflower rice. I use it all the time in my soups to give the soup body. Thanks for another great idea/recipe!
Can't wait to try this! Thanks so much for the tips!!
Hope you like it! - Sarah
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! what useful tips!! and wonderful recipe ideas!!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for this video 2 years after it was published! When I think about the amount of time spent on preparing and cooking rice, it's about the same amount of effort. I don't have a microwave, so I just put it in the pan and add my ingredients for my go to comfort food, egg fried rice.
Love your channel and videos!
Thanks for this! Believe it or not, my market is out of regular cauliflower a lot, so grating it up wasn't an option, but they always have frozen cauliflower rice. It's good to see a video that shows how to cook the frozen kind.
Just restarted low carb. Thanks for this tip! I hope I have this!🤞
Will definitely try the dry heat method. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you Erin! We hope you like it!! -Em
Oh my goodness, Keto Twins!!!! I tried the dry cooking method today with my cauliflower rice and it is a game changer!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Yay so happy to hear that Valencia! Try fried cauli rice next, yummm! -Em
Love it. You should do a video on ricing other types of vegetables
I
This method of cooking the “ rice” dry is a real game changer! Makes all the difference. I have really enjoyed your videos. I love your editing which makes the videos move quickly through steps. Congrats! You guys are some of my faves to watch.
Aw thank you Kathy! We love making videos and we are so glad you like them! Thanks for watching! -Sarah
Great way to start my friday with the keto twins! This is genius thanks 💙🦋💚
Aww thanks so much!! -Em
Ok, Emily, you got me! I will try it again. Thanks for showing us how to cover up the taste so we can endure some great dishes.❤
Yay!! Glad you are willing to give it another chance! -Em
You ladies are wonderful. I'm new to keto and so appreciate the food hacks. Made the cauliflower rice and a family member who HATES cauliflower enjoyed the rice. Had no idea the were eating a veggie. Thanks so much for all your help!
Aww thank you Pamela!! So happy your family member liked it! -Em
Thanks so much for the cooking hint. Makes all the difference in the world!!
So happy to hear that Bree! -Em
Tried your riced cauliflower recipe......DELICIOUS,! My hubby even loved it! You two are just awesome!!💕
Aw, thank you so much! That makes us so happy! Yay! -Em
Just followed your instructions and believe me I gave the cauliflower rice bag a kiss when I put it in the microwave. HAD TO FOLLOW EVERY STEP EXACTLY!
😂😂😂
Yes! Dry cooking to get the moisture out is key. The one thing I do differently is just put the frozen cauliflower into a pan set on medium heat and dry cook it the same way. Cauliflower is so versatile, the main dishes I make with cauliflower rice is either sushi rice for pok'e bowls or fried rice.
Cauliflower is super versatile! Haven’t made keto sushi in forever, going to have to give it a go again! -Em
Bingo!
I’ve been making cauli rice (chinese, spanish, dirty, faux rice a roni, & brown butter white) for several years and never once mic’d it first. It always goes from freezer to pan on med-high and the moisture evaporates just fine.
Omg! What a game changer for the cauliflower rice...I put in seasonings and mushrooms and it was so good! Thx for the great tips! Btw, found you guys about a week ago on UA-cam and have watched every video! Keep up the great work!
thank you so much Michele! So happy you like it!! -Em
Love your humour ....and great tips ! Thanks !
Thank you so much Melanie!! -Em
Recently found your videos and love the two of you. I love cauliflower steamed and roasted but was look for recipes for riced cauliflower. This is awesome. Thank you!
Thanks so much Brenda! We hope you’ll try it. -em

Great tips! So great in fact, that I am going to cook up some just to try this spanish rice recipe.
Soooo many great tips! Awesome video 👍❤️
Aww thanks Annie for watching!! 😍❤️-Em
@@ketotwins pros patting each other's back. Love it!
💜💜
My issue was _pre-riced_ cauliflower is that you pay top dollar for just chopped stems. I take a head of cauliflower, cut into wedges & go to it with a box grater.
Thanks for all the different options for cauliflower. I want to eat with y’all, the food always looks so amazing 🤤
Haha thank you Tammy! -Em
Thank you for the recipe, can't wait to try it. I would love to see you make chicken fried rice using riced cauliflower.
I love cauliflower rice! Can’t wait to see the Pudding recipe- it sounds amazing-I make something like that too! Love your ideas!

I had never heard to dry cook it before.....so I thought I'd try it your way tonight. Oh my word.....delicious! I made an attempt at cauliflower risotto..... It was amazing!!!! Thank you again for sharing this tip!!!! ❤❤❤

Great video - as usual! I will definitely try this recipe tonight to go along with my salmon!

I'm like you ladies...keto for life, and luckily as a kid I loved cauliflower and still do....bring on the recipes!!
So inspiring! Thanks so much! Also yummy with butter and Tajin!
Everything is better with Tajin 🤣-Em
Just had cauli rice for supper with my Keto taco meatballs ( your method of course!!!!)
So delish
I love cauliflower rice but I have never heard of the dry method. Anxious to try it. And pudding?! Wow, thanks for sharing.
We hope you’ll try it! It makes it even more delicious -Em
I like cauliflower mash, but have never liked it riced. I will certainly be giving a few of these examples a try (after a trip to Aldi which you've also convinced me to do). I hope you both have a great weekend.
let us know how it turns out Misty! - Sarah
Rewatching cause I'm finally going to give cauliflower rice another try using your dry cook method! 😁
I don’t do keto just low carb and this is an excellent tip for boring often very sloppy cauliflower rice ~ thanks!
What a difference that made. I never thought I'd eat cauliflower rice again. Thank you guys so much!
So glad you liked it! 🤗
I drain the water out after I microwave it. Now I'll drain it then cook it like you. Thank you so much!
This video changed my life... in the kitchen, lol. Thank you, ladies!!
Thanks for the recipe and tips. Yours looks really good. I love cauliflower rice. I’ll eat it microwaved and if I give myself extra time I’ll fry it up with some garlic.
Thanks Cheryl ❤️❤️-Em
