AviateKeto Rice Orzo - Low Carb (3g Net) Lupini Rice/Pasta, High Protein (18g), Gluten-Free, Made with Lupin Flour, Plant Based Vegan, Keto-friendly - Slim Orzo Pasta Rice (8oz) (Pack of 3)

I ollowed Rachel's review the first time and listened to her cooking instructions to make fried rice."Follow the directions on the bag EXCEPT only boil for 1.5 minutes, not the 2-3 minute recommended cook time. Strain and cool rice with cold water immediately to stop the cooking process. At this point the rice will be soft on the outside but with a crunchy little center, which is not ideal. To finish to the perfect consistency, you’re going to semi-fry the rice in a pan with the oil of your choice. You do not need a lot of oil maybe a couple tablespoons and it does not need to get as hot as a traditional rice fry. Fry the rice on medium for a 2ish minutes stirring a bit then place a lid over the pan and place on low for another 3-5 stirring occasionally to avoid burning. If you do the the rice will not be mushy nor have that crunchy center, it will very much have the texture of real rice! The “grains” are not sticky, so it acts more like a basmati rice. The taste is pretty plain to me but I read that like cilantro, some people find the taste of lupin to be bitter while others do not. For your sake I hope you don’t because this is a great low-carb rice alternative when cooked properly!"Thanks Rachel!!! I fried egg and chicken later and introduced it all. Delicious. I can't eat regular rice now.

The textual is surprisingly close to regular orzo, and works well as rice substitute as well. Tastes good too. I'm happy with it.

Interesting product. It works great in creamy sauces. I followed the directions, and it tasted great in the three recipes I used it in.

Not to keen on the flavor (semi-bland to sort of garbanzo bean flour-like) and the consistency once cooked is soft outside, with a kernal of uncooked core inside. Any more time in the water and they'd be pure mush. But heck, maybe they would not stick in my molars? IDK, anyway, they're not all bad when you're Jonesing for a rice fix. Lol.

I was able to make a really authentic seeming Asian fried rice. I followed Rachel's review for cooking.RecipeFive chicken tenders or 2 chicken breast's. (or meat of your choice)1 onion1 head garlic2 eggs (optional)I package Avaite Lupin Rice.Olive oil, or any cooking oil or fat like lard or coconut oil.Sauce (my best guess because I don't measure)1 quarter cup soy sauce or Braggs amigos.1 teaspoon rice vinegar1 teaspoon sesame oil1 half teaspoon fish sauce (optional but most authentic fried rice taste)I like some powdered chicken bullion as well, maybe half a teaspoon, optional.(Salt is in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and buillion so use your own judgement. I like a low sodium soy sauce for this reason. )1 half teaspoon garlic powder and onion powder.black pepper to taste, optional.Optional: Marinate the chicken in a mixture of rice wine vinegar and baking soda for several hours. I don't measure but try a quarter cup of vinegar and 1 tablespoon baking soda. Rinse it off before use.Slice the chicken, garlic, and onion.Saute the chicken in oil until lightly browned.Add the onion and cook until soft.Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.You can add oil as you go if needed.If your saute sticks, add a small amount of water and stir immediately until unstuck and water cooks off.Scramble the egg in the center of the pan, add oil if pan is dry, use a bit of water to unstick if needed.Remove this mix to plate or bowl. You want it all out, so use a soft spatula.Meanwhile in a small pan, boil water and then add the rice. Cook for 90 seconds, then immediately rinse with cold water in a strainer.Put your frying pan back on the burner at medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. Fry the rice for 2 minutes, stirring regularly.Again, if you get any sticking add a tiny bit of water and stir until unstuck and water is absorbed.Now cover the rice on low heat. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until you like the consistency. I was able to get a chewy al dente rice, like a brown rice in both texture and flavor.Now add the chicken mixture and sauce, mix and heat until combined and hot.You can always add your own spices and sauces.Forgot to add, you will want to eat the whole thing, but it can feed 2, especially if you add more veggies like celery. So measure out 3/4 of dry Aviate Lupin Rice to make a half recipe version. Cut the recipe in half. Save the other half for later. Saves money and is better portion control.

I buy this on a regular basis. It really is a great substitute for rice. Ensure you bowl in a large enough pot as Lupini will tend to foam more than expected and may boil over. Yeah didn’t know that the first time. Also I find if I sit in hit wash for 4 minutes, rinse and then boil that it tends to foam up less. Also this cook quicker than normal rice so check it after 5 minutes to see if it’s ready. I use it in place of rice all the time and it does not cause a glucose spike for me. Great product.

FINALLY!! Someone does it right! This was my very first purchase of this product and I decided to try to make rice pilaf. I read through the reviews carefully to try to avoid some common issues and THIS is the formula to get the right texture:Follow the directions on the bag EXCEPT only boil for 1.5 minutes, not the 2-3 minute recommended cook time.
