Cauliflower fucking sucks dog dick.

Whoever suggested this as an """alternative""" to rice needs to die in a fire.

Fuck quinoa too. There are no good replacements for rice as a side dish.

cauli cheese is good though

you have an unhealthy relationship with food.
vegetables are not a poor low-calorie imitation or substitute for meat or carb staples.
they are delicious in their own right, especially when slathered in a lot of oil and roasted at high temperatures.

of course there is no better rice than rice. eat rice. just eat less of it.

Don't blame fucking cauliflower for the fact that some people try to pretend that it can be something it isn't. Cauliflower is great, and I'm sorry you grew up so poor that you're just trying it for the first time as some kind of alternative fad diet retard shit.

Bros, try this. My mom would make it very often:

Cut caulifower in large clusters/florets
Boil until semi-hard. Not a full boil, very arbitrary but it works.
Drain and let dry.
Beat egg whites
Coat cauliflower in seasoned flour
Coat cauliflower chunks in egg white
Deep fry or shallow fry in HOT fat
Pull, let cool and lightly salt

Eat with a delicious salad and rice, or as a side dish for fish or chicken dishes

the secret to making it taste good is getting browning on it, and it develops a nice nutty flavour, but not overcooking it so it still has bite in the middle. So toss it in oil and salt and roast it on high.

I bet you've only ever had it mushy and pale.

Think you'd like steak if you overcooked it with no browning ?

Again, I'm sorry you're poor and ignorant, but stop trying to eat it like it's some kind of "healthy" version of rice or pizza dough. I still find it weird that there are homeless people with nicer phones than me.

that sounds delicious. trad nip tempura cauli is good too.
par boiling veges quickly is called 'blanching' them btw

Substitute ingredients are alway disappointing. It's a given that they'll be worse than what you're replacing. There's a reason they're not the standard choice.

I mean, it's not even a fucking grain, how could a vegetable replace a cereal? Because it's the same color? That's how retarded this idea is, really. "Me no want rice. Durrr, dis ting white too! Me use dat!"

It's fine if you use it like a normal person though, that is, as an actual vegetable.

Isn’t this basically the idea of a stir fry when you add other vegetables, seasonings, and a sauce?
>>12869132
This sounds good but can I do it with more vegetables than just cauliflower

>> No.12869543

>>12869525
not really. have you never even had roast brocolli? it's very different. especially in a shit stir fry with a home stove and a crowded pan, those veges won't get any browning at all.

So you’d like me to individually cook vegetables and expect my childish female significant other to eat it willingly?

Good with every vegetable except this.

I mean god damn it's like it has anti-flavor. Have a great meal? Delicious. Add cauliflower? Becomes immediately 1/5 as good.

Texture is fine but genuinely feel like it ruins everything it touches. Might give cauliflower crisps a go but it'll probably be my last vested attempt in trying it.
