👨‍🍳 How To Make

Easily make carnivore zero carb rice:

Step 1

Prepare a bowl that fits in a steamer. Then, grease it lightly with lard. Pour the whisked egg whites inside. Place the bowl inside the steam basket over boiling water and cover.

Step 2

Steam for 25-30 minutes or until the egg whites are firmly set. If you don’t have a steamer, bake in a 350°F (180°C) oven with a pan of steaming water on the rack below.

Step 3

Remove the mixture from the steamer and let it cool for 20 minutes. Turn over the bowl and release the egg whites onto a cutting board.

Step 4

Now you need to cut it into 1-inch chunks and place them in the food processor. Pulse until the egg whites are chopped, and their texture is rice-like. If you don’t have a food processor on hand, use a sharp knife (obviously it will take longer).

Step 5

Place the “rice” into a large bowl and sprinkle with beef gelatin while folding the rice over. Don’t pour the entire gelatin at once; take your time, adding a bit each time.

Step 6

Spread the rice onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven (330°F) for 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the rice from the oven, stir it, flatten it again (not pressing hard!), and bake in the oven for 10 more minutes. Repeat this process until the rice is dry enough.

Step 8

Remove the rice from the oven, and let it come to room temperature. To finish, let’s add the rice flavoring: add gelatin and egg white powder to a bowl. Mix well and then add 2 teaspoons of water. Mix again.

Let it sit for 15 minutes, and then add to the dried rice. Rub it into the rice until well combined. Enjoy!

💡Tips

1. Perfecting the Rice-like Texture

The food processor step is where you really create the rice-like texture. When pulsing the cooked egg whites, don’t just turn on the processor and walk away. Instead, use short, controlled pulses and check the texture frequently.

You’re aiming for pieces about the size of rice grains – not so small that they turn into a paste, but not so large that they still look like chunks of egg white. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a sharp knife, but be prepared for it to take quite a bit longer.

2. Let the Mixture Cool Completely

After removing the cooked egg white mixture from the steamer or oven, it’s important to let it cool completely before cutting it into chunks. This typically takes about 20 minutes.

Allowing the mixture to cool helps it firm up and makes it easier to cut into even pieces. If you try to cut the mixture while it’s still hot, it may fall apart or become mushy.
