I love to cook and come up with new recipes. I serve this dish at least once a month and sometimes more. For a different twist, I'll occasionally add a scrambled egg or use soy sauce instead of the rice vinegar. —Sonya Labbe, Santa Monica, California

I agree with the cooking time mentioned not being long enough. But other than that, my husband & I love this recipe. He even requested it. I didn't have bell pepper or snow peans in the fridge tonight, so subbed celery, matchstick carrots and bean sprouts. Received another set of thumbs up!

It smelled really good, but the directions on this are just not written well. I tried TWICE to make this dish exactly as written (thinking I must have done something wrong the first time) and the quinoa never properly cooked, even after 30+ minutes of simmering. Finally it just burned. Boo!

Excellent flavor - I used a couple extra spices and condiments from the cupboard and fridge but the basis of this recipe was great. My family loved it! Even the meat-and-potatoes man-of-the-house!!!

This was a hit at a dinner party. Added the vegetables at the very last so the crunch was there. Great flavor. Would do again and again.

Both my husband and I liked this. I like the idea of adding chicken to it.

I had high hopes for this recipe. I've just discovered quinoa and have been thrilled with it. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would add the sauces after the quinoa had cooked. I had the quinoa at a covered simmer for over 30 minutes and it just wouldn't soak up all the water. I think that maybe the sauces or oil prevented the quinoa to cook properly. The flavor of the sauces and veggies were awesome!
