I made it the day before yesterday. My husband and I really enjoyed it and after that, we didn't get hungry till the supper time.

Just a note... "nasi" means rice in Indonesian/Malaysian... :) This is the first time I've seen nasi goreng without rice.

The cauliflower rice substitutes for rice. This is a low carb site remember?

Agus, we think cauliflower tastes loads better than rice anyway and much kinder to the digestion.
What a lovely dish at nearly at the end of a week of gourmet eating courtesy of vegetarian #2. I've been heading towards LCHF for some time and finding it easy and very much to my taste. I have no idea what it's doing to me but I seem leaner and I certainly feel well and fit much of the time at 64 although it would be great if it could cure backache! I had blood tests done yesterday and I'll be interested in the results.
Doing LCHF 'properly' this week has been a real success in terms of enjoying the food and not getting hungry between meals. We are sold on it now. We have found the program really adaptable e.g. we took the mushroom fritatta out with us for a packed lunch yesterday and it was delicious cold. My husband is now won over to this way of eating and has started making jokes like 'Not another absolutely gorgeous meal! Can't they do something bland and boring? :)
We've got family staying next week. Apparently, our sister-in-law has just been told her BP is too high and her doctor is talking about statins. They run and go hill-walking but love their cereal and bread. We sense an opportunity. . . . .

I recently went to Bali and the other day was craving Nasi Goreng so this morning googled Keto Nasi Goreng and found this recipe. Will be making it for lunch!

It’s a vegetarian version, if you’re not vegetarian you can certainly use fish sauce, if you are vegetarian soy sauce gives it a nice extra flavor boost

Hi, what makes this low-carb and not keto? Is it the onion and green pepper?
I love normal Nasi Goreng so would like to 'keto-ise' this recipe if possible.
Thanks
