Quinoa - "The Slimming Superfood"

[jeune]

Love quinoa even if it gives me gas! And yes it's expensive, for a box of 12oz organic white grain it's about $5. Will try black if I find one in my area.

[honeybunny]

i tried this, di ko maenjoy kasi plain lang pag luto ko sa kanya... any one can share their recipe?

[akthung]

ako i love it plain. lalo na pag totoong organic. sarap ng amoy. parang tinapay na freshly baked.

some just sprinkle them sa salad.

I'm having trouble cooking quinoa! hahaha... I've tried various methods from the web but I just seem to get the "pilaf-y"/fluffy consistency  I've been eating it ala-al dente for quite a while now without washing and toasting with olive oil before adding water.

Can anyone give tips for cooking quinoa? Do you add broth? Does it have to be washed?

I boil 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups of water. Tapos 2-3 minutes simmer then fluff na. I eat it like rice, mas maganda kung may sauce yun ulam kasi nakukuha ng quinoa yun lasa. By itself, nutty ang flavor.

^sis so parang brown rice ba ang dating niya? Saan kaya nakakabili ng maramihan? wow, mukhang mada diet talaga kase magastos bumili ng quinoa. hehe...

[chubbycheeks]

^ mas malalasahan mo sya kesa brown rice, i think. Di ba brown rice parang lasang karton? Hehe. Quinoa parang nilagang mani ang lasa. Try ka muna ng small pack, sis. Baka di mo matagalan. Di ko pa nga ubos yun akin, 3 months na. Hehe.

[artificialstar]

Meron palalng quinoa sa snr? Nice. thanks sa info sissies. Excited na akong bumili, i like that it has a nutty flavor. Di ko din kase type yung brown rice

[choco_monster]

^ Meron sis but most of the time OOS, then matagal magreplenish. 

[sarsingkit]

I love quinoa, I like the taste and versatile. Pwede sya act like kanin with ulam or pwede ilagay sa salad. With salad I usually cook it with chicken broth and pagluto na I add corn kernels and Red Bell Pepper. And one time, I used quinoa instead of rice/malagkit in arroz caldo. Hahaha. It turned out to be creamier. Sarap!

[Bvrly08]

Masarap naman ang mahal lang kaya minimix ko din sa konting white rice or salad

I saw quinoa in EDSA Shangrila supermarket. Maraming types pero average Php 300 for about 500g siguro yun.

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^ that's not too bad compared to the ones i saw in healthy options na parang piso per gram ang quinoa uuugh.

[rlin_0811]

oo mas mura than the ones in healthy options

[happilytaken2]

i bought sa snr yung isang pack mga sis parang craberries yung lalagyan. i've had it since september at di pa siya nangangalahati til now coz everyday I only cook 1/3 cup in the smallest rice cooker I could find (mukhang toy rice cooker talaga). half for lunch and half for dinner since I tend to skip breakfast. I usually drink tea lang. I eat it as alternative to rice. tama si sis chubbycheeks. it smells and tastes like mani hehe. and nakakabusog na siya.

[artificialstar]

^ 1:2 ratio ginagamit mong method in cooking quinoa sis? 1/3 cup and 2/3 cup water?
