My family, known for their staunch adherence to blasé American cuisine, loves this recipe! It's energy intensive and will leave your sink full of dishes to be washed, but it's well worth it. I'd suggest wrapping the bean sprouts in cheesecloth before blanching them (makes it easier to remove them) and going easy on the hot pepper flakes (you can always add more when the dish is on your plate if you want). Also, use soy sauce instead of fish sauce to save a fish!

Delectable! I would definitely make the raisins mandatory. They added just the right amount of sweetness. Next time, I'll use half the amount of salt, though.

I followed this recipe to the letter, but at 25min, my quinoa was still quite crunchy. I bumped the heat up to medium low. After over an hour, I gave up, doused my serving with brown sugar, and managed to eat half of it before dumping the rest down the drain. Ah well. I'm afraid I won't be trying this one again.
