HI Betic,
I eat tons of Fake Rice, but havent tried the cauli mash. How do you do that?.
Steve
This is a very old thread. I am guessing he means cauliflower rice - cauliflower florets which are grated or blitzed in a food processor until they resemble grains of rice. The cauli rice can then be stir-fried with herbs and/or spices to make a rice replacement.Hi Steve - what is 'fake rice' please. Thanks
Thanks Avocado Sevenfold I'm going to try that. I heard that China are making fake plastic rice at the moment which are making people ill so I'm glad it wasn't that LOL!This is a very old thread.

I hope someone is joking about plastic rice! lolThanks Avocado Sevenfold I'm going to try that. I heard that China are making fake plastic rice at the moment which are making people ill so I'm glad it wasn't that LOL!
Thanks Avocado I looked it up and I think the plastic rice turned out to be a hoax in the end - I thought it was a real warning LOL. Anyway shall try the cauli rice recipe, thank you!I hope someone is joking about plastic rice! lol
Here is a tried and tested delicious cauli rice recipe. It is not a ready meal as the thread requests, but we can't have everything...

Think he's referring to rice/pasta/noodles made with Konjac flour. If you go to Holland & Barrett site and put konjac in search it will bring up products they sell. Think it's expensive given has no nutritional value but did try them when H&B had them on 1p offer. Once you rinse them well they have no smell and are tasteless but as vehicle for sauces work OK. If having spag bolt I prefer courgette spaghetti and am happy to eat curry without rice/bread if I also have a veg side dish.Hi Steve - what is 'fake rice' please. Thanks
Don't put too much faith in the labels, sometimes they can be inaccurate. Trust your own preparation.thought it would be a good idea to post anyones findings of low carb ready made foods.
i have been hunting through tescos and asda and reading the lables like a nutter...
i seem to have most luck in the frozen foods section meals with meats and sauces and curried meats with sauce, but i am in no doubt you low carb hungary shoppers out there must have come across a few gems in your searches!!! please tell us what you have found, as although i like cooked from natural, it is not always possible if you are running late or the wifes out and you fancy something speedy!! i will get my two findings from the freezer tomoz and post what they are...all those i have found have no potatoe or rice or such like in but i had a great chicken, peppers frozen meal which came in a superb sauce which was only about 8 grams carb for the whole tub 375grams...and there was enough sauce to cover my cauli mash as well...really nice
Cauliflower mash is made by boiling cauli florets until soft - draining well (really well) and mashing with butter and cream as you do with potatoes. I like to add some feta cheese too - the resulting mash looks, and almost tastes like mashed potato.
You can do the same with celariac (but its a devil to peel).
Use a sharp cook's knife not a peeler. Cut in half and stand it on the flat surface. Cut down to remove strips of peel and root.do the same with celariac (but its a devil to peel)
