Tips for the Best Keto Cabbage Rice!
- Choose the Right Cabbage: Green cabbage works best for this recipe, but Napa cabbage offers a softer texture if you prefer a more delicate bite.
- Ricing the Cabbage: Use a food processor for quick and uniform ricing, or finely chop with a knife for more texture. A box grater also works in a pinch.
- Don’t Overcook It: Cabbage should be tender but not mushy. Keep an eye on it and remove from heat once it’s softened but still slightly crisp.
- Enhance the Flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon or a splash of coconut milk for extra richness and depth. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can also brighten up the dish.
