Quinoa

I just realised in the cabinets I've got a pack of quinoa that is gonna expire in a month! I only know how to cook quinoa like how I cook porridge with minced pork so I googled for some recipes and here's what I've got.
Something I gonna try....

First, how to cook Quinoa....

In a medium (3-4 quart) pan over high heat, bring 3 cups water to a boil. In a strainer, rinse 1 1/2 cups quinoa under running water and drain thoroughly (this ensures you remove any remaining saponins which can make your quinoa bitter). Add quinoa and 1/4 teaspoon salt to pan with boiling water. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender to bite, 20 to 25 minutes. (Makes 5 cups or about 4 servings.)

Alternatively, a quick and easy way is to cook it like how you do rice :)
2 parts water to 1 part quinoa.

Warm Quinoa Breakfast Cereal
1 cup prepared quinoa
1/2-3/4 cup skim milk (depending on the consistency you like) ( I use soy milk)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (I use non dairy margaine)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup toasted almonds

Place prepared or leftover quinoa in a sauce pan. Add milk, butter, honey, cinnamon and raisins. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the cereal thickens slightly. Garnish with nuts and an additional drizzle of honey if you like. Makes one very hearty serving or two more modest ones.

You can also cook the quinoa IN milk and vary your fruits (think peaches, apples, blueberries) and your toppings (pecans, sunflower seeds).

4-6 Chinese red dates
1/2 cup rice
Salt and pepper to taste ( I omit these coz i make it for this for the children)

Method:
1. Wash and soak rice
2. Skin fish fillet and slice finely. Marinate in 1 tsp oil and a little salt (alternatively, i marinade it in 1 tsp of sesame oil and light soya sauce)
3. After soaking spinach leaves for a while, wash spinach leaves well and drain. Slice into thin shreds.
4. Place soaked rice, chinese red dates and 2 cups of water into a pot. Simmer until rice grains "blossom"
5. Add fish slices, shredded ginger and spinach and bring porridge to a boil. Turn down heat, simmer another 5 minutes and serve hot.

From step 4, I put everything into the pot and let it boil and transfer to thermal pot.
