I love quinoa
although I have never made it before. My husband
is not very adventurous and probably wouldn't have
tried it if I had told him what it was before I
set the plate in front of him. I just told him it
was "like pineapple fried rice but with a
different grain" and he gave it a go. He loved it
which says a lot! My kids and I loved it too. It
makes a lot or at least I thought but everyone
wanted extra helpings so it didn't last long. I
will definitely be making this again (and now I'll
probably be able to get the hubby to try more
quinoa dishes as well.) I made it exact to recipe
except I used probably a full cup of canned
crushed pineapple -- however much was in a
standard size can. Crushed is the perfect size so
you get some pineapple in each bite. This was
fantastic and very easy and I will definitely be
making it again.

Very good. I added
frozen peas to get more veggies, used yellow onion
instead of green, and only 2 eggs. The flavor was
excellent! So glad to have a new way to use
quinoa!
This was amazing!
However i think that 3 cups of liquid would be too
much as the normal quinoa ratio is 1:2. So i only
used 2c water used sesame oil b/c i didn't have
peanut used a yellow onion as that's all I had on
hand and didn't have cilantro. Also didn't add
pepper flakes as I thought it was spicy enough. My
husband and I loved it and will be making this
often!
Five cloves of
garlic is overkill. I would recommend one clove,
maybe two if you really like garlic. Also, there
is too much extra liquid in the recipe. The
texture was too soft right out of the skillet and
the leftovers were very mushy, more like oatmeal
than quinoa. I'd recommend leaving out the cup of
water.
Fabulous! I did
decrease the chili oil by 1 Tablespoon to lower
the heat and I don't think it needs that much oil
anyway. We are meat eaters so to make a heartier
meal I also pan fry some chopped Mango Chicken
Sausage (from Trader Joe's) to add to the mix.
Have made it multiple times to rave reviews -
thanks!!
One word - YUM! My
boyfriend even loved it which is a huge deal as
he's a meat and potatoes guy. I made the quinoa in
the rice cooker ahead of time. Then I added chili
flakes and oil to a pan and cooked up chicken
added the garlic onions and cilantro then added
egg. When the egg was cooked I added quinoa to the
pan used a couple dashes of soy sauce and a few
squirts of Siracha sauce. So good. I've been
telling everyone about this recipe!
Very good with a
bit of a spicy 'bite" to it! My son-in-law begged
for the recipe. Due to what I had on hand I subbed
olive oil for peanut oil more broth for the water
a small diced white onion for the green onion used
canned pineapple tidbits and added 1 1/2 cups
diced cooked ham to make it a satisfying main
dish. Blend of flavors was just right!
This dish is
delicious! I went ahead and gave it a try because
it required all of the odd-ball ingredients my
bare pantry had to offer tonight -- I was prepared
for mediocre but wow am I happy to report that
this is fantastic! I had only 2 eggs so I diced up
a left-over baked chicken breast and I added a
stalk of celery that needed to be eaten. Heeding
previous reviews I didn't used as much soy sauce
as called for initially but really it needed that
1/4 cup; and I added a TBSP of canola oil because
I didn't have enough peanut oil. My boyfriend and
I are ready to make this again with pork or shrimp
a little ginger red bell pepper...you get the
idea. This recipe is a keeper!
This is actually
pretty good! I overdid my quinoa and didn't chop
my pineapple as much as I should... but it was
still great. Could be healthier without the yolk.
Easy.
