I followed the recipe exactly, but my jasmine rice quinoa pilaf turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the rice. I'll try again next time and be more careful with the cooking time.

This jasmine rice quinoa pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better. I think it would also be good with some chopped nuts or dried fruit.
