Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of extra firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 2 cups of water
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and 2 cups of 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 small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki sauce.
- In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu in the skillet. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Divide the cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with the teriyaki tofu and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
