1 to 2 Teaspoon Olive oil
1/8 Teaspoon Salt OR TO TASTE
1/4 Teaspoon Ground black pepper OR TO TASTE
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the quinoa (a few times) until the water runs clear. then soak in water for about 30 minutes. Once the quinoa is soaked drain the water and let it sit in a strainer.
To a heated pan add olive oil and onion. Fry the chopped onion while switching between medium to medium-high heat until it starts to brown, for about 5 minutes or so. Adding the chopped mushrooms, salt and fry on medium-high heat until the mushrooms are lightly browned, for about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the soaked and strained quinoa and water and mix. Sprinkle julienne carrots and frozen edamame on top of the quinoa. Mix and BRING IT TO A BOIL AND THEN COOK UNCOVERED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE. COVER THE PAN WITH LID AND REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW AND COOK IT COVERED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE QUINOA IS COOKED.
👉 Sometimes one batch of quinoa is more dry than the other and May take longer to cook. So adjust the cooking time accordingly.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the sauce mix. To a small bowl add gochujang, dark soy sauce, white vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic and sesame oil. Mix well until and set aside for later.
Once the quinoa is cooked. Uncover and add the sauce mix, the green onions and mix well. Then increase the heat to medium and fry the quinoa for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Now cover the lid. Remove the pan from heat and allow the quinoa to rest for about 5 minutes for the flavours to develop.
Remove the extra firm tofu from the package over the sink. Drain the liquid and rinse the tofu with water. Pat dry the tofu with paper towel. Use 200g of the tofu and cut it into 1/2X 1/2 inch cubes. To a heated pan, add the olive oil, tofu cubes, salt and pepper. Mix well. Spread out the tofu in a single and allow one side to golden brown for about 1 minute. Then toss and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until all sides are lightly browned.
Add the pan fried tofu to the cooked quinoa and mix. Serve hot with a side of green salad.

👉 Sometimes one batch of quinoa is more dry than the other and may take longer to cook. So adjust the cooking time accordingly

Check out my other lentil recipes / pasta recipes / vegetarian and vegan recipes for easy vegetarian meals for your busy week.
💬 Let me know if you enjoyed my healthy vegan lentil recipe / dal recipe.
LENTIL RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 to 5 servings approx.)
👉 TO COOK THE RED LENTILS:
1+1/2 Cup / 290g Red Lentils
5 cups / 1183ml Cup water
1+1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric
1+1/4 Teaspoon salt (I have added sea salt)
👉 LENTIL PASTA INGREDIENTS:
3 Tablespoon Cooking Oil (I have used light olive oil)
1/2 Teaspoon Whole Cumin Seeds
2 Cups / 275g Onion – chopped
2 Tablespoon / 25g Garlic – finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Chilli Flakes or to taste (you can use 1 to 2 whole dried Indian red chilies if you prefer)
2+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/8 Teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1/2 cup / 125ml Tomato Puree / Passata
2 Cups / 330g Tomatoes – 3 medium size tomatoes – chopped
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/4 teaspoon sea salt)
3 cups / 700ml Water
250g Lasagna sheet OR Pasta of choice
2+1/2 cups / 350g Zucchini (cut in 1/2 inch thick semi circles)
1/2 cup / 30g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) – chopped
3/4 cup / 50g Green Onions – chopped
Freshly ground black pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 Teaspoon of Black Pepper)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I have added 1/2 to 1 tbsp of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly rinse the red lentil (a few times), until the water runs clear and then soak for 1 hour. Drain the water from the soaked lentils and transfer it to a small pot. Add turmeric, salt and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, give it a mix. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the lentils are cooked. Once cooked turn off the stove, cover the lid and set aside for later.
✅ 👉 PLEASE NOTE: The cooking time depends on the quality of the lentils. Sometimes one batch of red lentils can be drier than the others and may need more cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY. It took me 30 minutes on my stove.
To a heated pot add cooking oil. Once the oil is heated, reduce the heat to low (this will prevent the cumin from burning) and add the cumin seeds. When the seeds starts to splutter, add the onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and increase the heat back to medium. Fry on medium heat until the onion are golden brown. 👉 ADDING SALT TO ONIONS WILL RELEASE IT’S MOISTURE AND HELP IT COOK FASTER SO PLEASE DON’T SKIP IT.
Add the garlic, chili flakes and fry for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low and then add dry spices (ground coriander, asafoetida and cayenne) and fry for about 30 seconds or so on low heat. Add the Tomato puree, fresh chopped tomatoes and salt to taste. Now increase the heat to medium-high. Mix well and fry the tomatoes until they disintegrate and forms a thick paste and the oil starts separating. Once the tomatoes are nicely fried, add the cooked red lentils and water. Mix thoroughly. Cover the lid of the pot and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, add the pasta, chopped zucchini and mix well. Cover the lid again and cook the pasta on medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes. MAKE SURE TO STIR IN-BETWEEN TO PREVENT THE PASTA FROM STICKING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. Uncover and cook for another 1 minute or so. Turn off the stove.
✅ 👉 UNDER-COOK THE PASTA by 3 to 4 minute, as it will continue to cook in the hot liquid even after the stove it turned off.
✅ 👉 Note: If the lentil dish is too thick for your liking, you can thin it out with boiling water. DO NOT add cold water to it, otherwise it will ruin the taste.
Add chopped cilantro, green onions, freshly ground black pepper, drizzle of olive oil and mix well. Serve hot with a side salad.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 You can use any pasta of your choice
👉 To re-heat the lentil pasta, add some boiling water to it and heat it in the microwave or stove

100g / 3/4 Cup Onion – finely chopped
20g / 2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Flakes
1+1/2 Tablespoon Tomato paste

Drizzle of Olive oil
✅ 👉 GARLIC FRIED RICE RECIPE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/LPz-bjrIu1c
▶️ METHOD:
To a heated pot add the olive oil and onions. Fry the onion for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add the finely chopped garlic, chili flakes and fry on medium-low heat for about 1 minute or until fragrant. CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE GARLIC. Add the tomato paste and fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Now add the chopped mushrooms, salt to taste, fresh thyme and ground black pepper. Adding salt will release the water from the mushrooms, so fry until the water from the mushrooms has evaporated. It will take about 6 minute or so. Add the all purpose flour and fry on medium to medium-low heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 2 minutes to get rid of the raw taste of the flour. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the vegetable broth and stir until all the flour is mixed into the broth this will prevent any flour lumps in the sauce. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the lid and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes.
Open the lid and turn the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Add the cream (plant based) and cook for about another 1 minute or to the desired consistency. Turn off the heat and add some freshly ground pepper and finely chopped parsley. Mix well. Cover the lid and let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. Serve with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes or crusty bread. Enjoy!
✅ 👉 HERE’S THE GARLIC FRIED RICE RECIPE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO: https://youtu.be/LPz-bjrIu1c
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 After adding the Vegetable broth – STIR UNTIL ALL THE FLOUR IS MIXED INTO THE BROTH. This will prevent any flour lumps in the gravy
👉 Every stove is different so adjust/regulate the heat and cooking time accordingly
