Asian Quinoa Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup diced tofu
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup edamame, shelled
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and edamame. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and grated ginger. Pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the cooked quinoa and tofu to the skillet, and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the quinoa mixture into bowls and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
