Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup diced tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water and drain well.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of diced tofu and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup each of diced red and yellow bell peppers, and 1/2 cup of diced red onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add 1 cup of chopped kale to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
- Return the cooked quinoa and tofu to the skillet. Stir in 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup each of chopped green onions and cilantro.
- Divide the Cosmic Cuisine Combo into serving bowls and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
The Cosmic Cuisine Combo has a rich history rooted in the fusion of flavors from around the world. Originally crafted by Chef Maria in the bustling streets of New York City, this dish quickly gained popularity for its unique blend of Asian, Latin, and Mediterranean influences. The traditional recipe features a succulent mix of grilled chicken, shrimp, and tofu, all marinated in a zesty blend of herbs and spices. However, as the demand for plant-based options grew, Chef Maria introduced a vegan protein option, replacing the meat with hearty, marinated seitan. Today, the best version of this dish can be found at Maria's own restaurant, where the key to its success lies in the perfectly seasoned vegan protein and the harmonious balance of flavors from diverse culinary traditions.
