Dinner
Another favourite recipe! The shrimp is easy to swap out for chicken or tofu.
Ingredients
-
1 cup quinoa, well rinsed
-
2 cups water
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 cup chopped bell pepper (red and yellow)
-
1 tsp fresh minced garlic
-
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
-
1 cup chopped onion
-
1 cup edamame
-
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
-
2 cups cooked shrimp, diced cooked chicken or diced tofu
-
2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions
Bring water to a boil with quinoa, reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Turn off and allow to sit for 6 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff quinoa with a fork.
Saute onion and pepper in oil for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook 2 minutes. Add edamame, cook for 4-5 minutes. Stir in quinoa and tamari, stir to heat through.
Top with cooked shrimp. If using diced cooked chicken or tofu stir in with quinoa. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
Recipe Note
For a little heat (which I love) add 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chili flakes with garlic and ginger, or a squeeze of sriracha or hot sauce and stir in with quinoa. -- Cathy
