But I have an idea about the rice, though I haven't actually tried it....TVP, texturized vegetable protein. You can buy it in health food stores. Bob's Red Mill makes it, I'm sure there are other brands also. I used some to make chicken stuffing, and I noticed the texture was more like rice than bread when it was done, so I think it would work. It's pretty bland - like rice - and picks up the flavour of whatever you cook it with - like rice. It's quite filling, so I wouldn't use too much, probably less than the equivalent amount of rice.

It's about 6 carbs per quarter cup, which I assume is BEFORE you add water to swell it up, which would work out to about 1 serving, I think (1/2 cup prepared).
