Just made a pot of this and loved it. I had to sub powders for garlic and ginger, omitted the onion, used brown rice, and it turned out delicious! Those who said it wasn't salty enough maybe need to cut back? I eat very little salt and this tasted great to me. Great high fibre side for meat dishes! - 7/1/09
