When first launching our grain free orzo cassava pasta, we were so curious how a grain free orzo would hold up in rice-based recipes. After our first trial, with its firm, hearty bite, the results did not disappoint! Salty from a touch of gluten-free soy sauce... yet crunchy and refreshing with the lightly cooked vegetables, this grain free orzo recipe offers a balance of fresh nourishment and Asian-inspired flavor. We suggest cutting the vegetables very small to get more flavor per bite!

I tried to follow the directions but some how the orzo turned to mush. Instead of 'browning' it dissolved.
Very disappointing. Next time I'll just use rice.

Do you have to completely cool the cooked cassava orzo before you add to the skillet? The way you do with the rice in traditional fried rice made with rice? Is that the difference between brown/crisp and mush?

  It will crisp up better if it is cool. Make sure it is not overcooked and is not mushy coming out of the water.

I've tried the orzo rice and it was like mashed potatoes. What's the trick to cooking this?

My recipe called for 3 cups of veg broth, I didn't follow the directions on the box for cooking the orzo. Maybe that was the problem?

  That was probably it, try following the instructions on the box. The amount of water and cook time is important, otherwise the texture will not be correct.
