Delicious! I subbed frozen brown rice for the mung beans - easy and delicious. Such an unexpected flavor combination.

Question - my mung beans aren't sprouted. Will this recipe work with them?

I'm a night shifter. Advice I received was to eat something every five hours, and just eat what appeals to you, whether that's oatmeal at 2a or a turkey sandwich for "breakfast" when I'm driving home in the morning. Difficult to anticipate what's going to taste good, though - a lot of food seems to make me nauseous at night. Any other overnight tips?

Nealey - are you talking about Dante's Down the Hatch?? What a fun spot - we haven't been there in ages!

beets!! i always hated the deeply pickled ones that always showed up on the table at family gatherings and stained my fingers pink. this year, a friend suggested that i try roasting them - and i'm in love! also, it turns out those pickled ones are pretty great, too!

@jmorri26, I've just filled my rinse dispenser with vinegar - it works great! sometimes I'll also throw some vinegar in the bottom of the dishwasher to clean the appliance itself. there are great tips on this site about how to do that.

I always grate my garlic now that I have a microplane. So much faster than mincing garlic (what a pain!) and it distributes so nicely. Hadn't thought to try it with onions - thanks for the tip!

I'm getting a late start, but I'm ready to go. It wasn't until I took the "before" pictures that I realized how terribly cluttered our kitchen is - no wonder I can't find anything! I've got today and tomorrow off - wish me luck as I get started on this mess!

Made this last night. Delicious flavor but I couldn't get the beef to ever be "fork tender" - I gave it an extra hour of cooking time and worried that it would get too tough if I kept going. I used lean stew meat instead of the more marbled kind - could this account for it?
