Aviate Keto 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)

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

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.

Looking for low-carb alternatives to the 'white foods' (Rice, Pasta, 'Tatoes) in my dotage, and am trying a lot of different 'alternative food options' these days. I've tried konjac, shiritaki, palm fruit, Garbanzo bean pasta, etc., and now this. This is a not a wheat/gluten based product, but made from a different flour, derived from a legume 'belonging to the same plant family as peanuts,' as the package says. It ALSO says, " USE CAUTION AS CONSUMPTION MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC REACTION." So, if Peanut allergies you have, you might want to think again, before using.... my two cents.The 'rice' is more akin to ORZO in shape (but not in taste), if you know what that is. And the advertised "3 grams NET carbs" thing, is hoping the fiber content will bring it down to that point. Your KETO figures may vary.... again, CAUTION.I'm not counting net vs total, I'm not watching my macros (who has time/interest/self-absorption, like that?) I merely want to dump something into boiling water, cook it and eat it with dinner. So, as to that....Directions ask you to cook the entire package. Unless you are a family of four (with one being a teen-age boy!) my recommendation is to put in HALF the package (around 2/3 a cup of this dry 'rice') in two cups of water, rather than the full package/four cups. Because, once it is cooked, and you start eating it, you WILL FILL UP RATHER FAST.Others have noted this- I'm a large man, and can easily eat 2/3rds a box of [normal] Spaghetti, or an entire package of Mac 'n Cheese, or 1.5 CUPS of white rice (pick one) at a sitting. With this Lupini stuff, though... it's chewy, has a taste reminiscent of BROWN RICE (it's also brown, so maybe just the visual?!?) and, after eating about four or five tablespoon fulls of the Aviate, I put the rest in a storage container, for another time. How could something 'fill you up' so quickly? I don't know, but it did. Maybe I just wasn't hungry enough.And, now that it's in the fridge, is it calling to me? No siren call, here. Not like leftover pasta, parm, and tomato sauce does for 'next-day' Breakfast; or leftover white rice with butter- and a fried egg does; or that cup and a half of Mac 'n Cheese... for morning snack/second breakfast. MMMMMWill I use it? Yeah, I paid for it. Does it have its' uses? Yeah, but the texture is NOT like Orzo, but (as I said) more like a "tofu with brown rice" sort of vibe. For the 'birkie' crowd, maybe that's your thing. Not really mine- at least, not since the 1970's.... lol.

Great tasting expensive rice substitute. Would be prefect but the significant gas and bloating it causes means I can't eat it very often. Great for the Keto diet and farting contest.

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. 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!

Not quite rice, but much better than cauliflower rice for low carbing!

Great taste for low carb
