Quinoa Tofu Stirfry
Ingredients
- Quinoa 1 cup, uncooked
- tofu 16 oz
- baby bellas 8 oz
- scallions 1-2 stalks
- garlic 1-2 cloves, to taste
- ginger 1 thumb, peeled
- soy sauce 2 tbsp
- sesame oil 1 tbsp null
Intro
For the quinoa, adding seasoning directly to the soaking water will greatly help increase the flavor of this dish. A broth cube is also a good option. Do not serve the quinoa underneath the stir fry, or it will get soggy. This works with any vegetables, as do most stir fries.
Directions
- Prepare the quinoa according to the package. Do not forget to season the quinoa.
- In the mean time, make the stir fry by heating oil in a wok, or nonstick pan. Add sliced garlic and ginger to season the oil, and fry for about 1 minute. Then add in sliced mushrooms. Stir until the mushrooms have dehydrated a bit, around 3-5 minutes.
- Dice the tofu and add it to the pan, and continue stirring for another minute.
- Turn the heat down a bit and add soy sauce, salt, and other dry seasoning of choice. Stir for another minute.
- Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil. Keep stirring until residual heat comes down.
- To serve, place stir fry on plate and ladle quinoa over the top.
