I strongly recommend to rinse quinoa thoroughly before toasting it a little to remove its natural defense of bitterness & proceed w/the recipe.
This is the best simple Quinoa recipe I have found so far I did alter it a bit though. I used low sodium soy sauce used two tablespoons grated fresh ginger. And for the onion (because I didn't have any green onions at the time) I used 1 tablespoon minced yellow onion and added it with the broth and other ingredients then topped with crushed parsley. It was delicious as a healthy snack as well as a sidedish.
This is a nicely flavored quinoa but I like to have some variation in texture so I added arame (seaweed) and avocado which for me would make this 5 stars. I also used veg broth instead of chicken. Nice easy recipe!
This is the best quinoa recipe I've tried so far. I think quinoa works with an asian flavor. It was a little too strong though. I would double quinoa cut back the soy sauce or use low sodium chicken stock (too salty) next time. Also add broccoli!
I really liked this recipe... gave real rich flavor... although I used toasted sesame oil and chopped up some carrots instead of the onions:)
Just made this for lunch and it was awesome. I reduced the soy sauce to 1 TB and increased the garlic and ginger (1 small bulb or about a dozen cloves and 1/4 minced fresh ginger). I think that the cooking time directed may be too long. My quinoa seemed done about 10 minutes sooner than described in the recipe. Over cooking quinoa ruins the texture. It becomes mushy and loses the mild crunchiness it has when cooked until the spirals start showing on the kernels.
This was REALLY GOOD!!! I did find it a bit strong/salty so next time I will make adjustments per my taste. I cooked this in my rice pot and it was so simple!
Very good... Made it in my rice cooker and served it with slow cooker oriental chicken.
Gah salty!!!! I just finished making this (following the recipe as is) and it's so so salty! Use reduced sodium broth and 1/2 the soy sauce. In the mean time I'm going to work on making this taste better.
