Super delish, easy weekday meal! However, we definitely added half the soy sauce it calls for, about 3 times the garlic and also about 1-2 tablespoons of ginger. AND definitely add steamed broccoli! I just threw some chopped broccoli over the quinoa mixture with a little extra water as it finished cooking in the pan. This is really good stuff!

This was awesome. A great way to make quinoa. I had only made a curry quinoa before this, and this turned out awesome. Will do again!

This was a great start... I added a head of broccoli, 1/2 a red bell pepper, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and served with 3/4 lb of chicken I cooked seperately. I tossed the broccoli, pre-cooked chicken and red bell pepper in after 20 minutes and the veggies were perfectly done, not soggy! The recipe was a bit salty for my tastes; next time I will try 1 cup chicken broth, 1 cup water to reduce the sodium while keeping the soy sauce flavor.

Very good. I used my rice cooker which worked very well. I served it with shrimp and Jamie's Cranberry Spinach Salad from this site. Will make it again.

Not bad! Definitely better than other quinoa dishes I've tried. Following the advice of another member, I added water chestnut, which I think made the dish much better by adding texture. I also added less soy sauce, used low sodium chicken broth, and before serving, mixed in a splash of sesame oil. I would definitely make this again. WATER CHESTNUT is key!

I love quinoa and eat it all the time so I was looking for something to spice it up a bit. This was definitely worthwhile, although it would be waaay too salty for me with full salt soy sauce and broth (I used low sodium for both). I also added red bell pepper and broccoli because I had it around (next time I'll add the broccoli later or steam it separately, it got too mushy) and water chestnuts, which I love and are a nice healthy way to bulk it up.

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.
