This has nice flavor but I had some problems with it. The cooking time took about 30 minutes until it appeared the stock was absorbed (never had that problem before). It was also very salty despite using a very low sodium soy sauce. Next time I'd probably leave out the salt altogether. I used red quinoa. -
This is fantastic! Full of flavor and easy to make. I used water and gluten free soya sauce. Will certainly make again! Made for the Gardening Forum March Herb of the Month.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
