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 (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.

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.

I ordered the 3-pack of Aviate Keto Rice Orzo (to sample) and got only 1 package (dealing with Amazon/Aviate refund at the moment). At the time when I ordered the product, I went ahead and set up a Subscribe & Save order. ***IF*** the S&S order actually has 3 in the order, I will come back and change this rating to 5. 5, because this product is EXCELLENT for keto/low carb diets at 3g per 1/3 cup! Taste and texture is quite good, altho it's not quite "rice". Very close tho, and very tasty!

I was able to make a really authentic seeming Asian fried rice. I followed Rachel's review for cooking. Recipe Five chicken tenders or 2 chicken breast's. (or meat of your choice) 1 onion 1 head garlic 2 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 vinegar 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 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.

This rice is okay, but texture is not good, I can't cook it too my desired consistency. I will eat it because I paid for it.

Cooks super fast... not perfect as it's a bit sticky but allows me to have pasta meals still. Low carb is a must for diabetes management and this fits the bill. Note it is much more filling than regular pasta so you won't need as much.

I use it almost exclusively to make risotto. I boil it for about 5 minutes, then finish it off for 1–2 minutes by adding a little chicken broth, cheese, butter, and the other classic risotto ingredients. It’s a bit pricey, but you don’t need much of it to feel full and satisfied.

This is by far the best low carbs alternative i tried so far. You will get a decent texture. Not flavourful and fluffy like A basmati but at least as a bite to it and not rubbery. High protein is an added bonus too. I wish the price would be more reasonable. 1 bad basically serves two people.

Awesome rice substitute for those of us that are low carb. Made chicken fried rice with it.

First time buying this product as it was a food item requested and right now not impressed with packaging. One of three packages seems to have a manufacture defect and the bag did not seal properly. In transit and with handling it must have spilled out which is a waste of product for me. I have a dinner tonight and this product was requested. I will have to compensate now for the quantity of product and have smaller portions. Amazon fulfilled this order and has refunded me but the seller should know that they need to improve their inspection of product.
