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.

1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup OR to taste
1/2 Teaspoon minced Garlic (1 large garlic clove approx.)
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly rinse and then chop the vegetables.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add salt and cauliflower. Blanch the cauliflower in salted water for JUST 2 MINUTES and then allow it to rest in a strainer to get rid of any excess water. DO NOT OVER COOK THE CAULIFLOWER BECAUSE WE’LL COOK IT FOR THE SECOND TIME AS WELL, ALONG WITH THE OTHER VEGETABLES.
Now to a heated pan add olive oil, onions, carrots, red bell pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Fry on medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are slight soft but still has a bite to it. Add the blanched cauliflower, paprika and cayenne pepper and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes on medium to medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and transfer the fried vegetables to a mixing bowl.
To prepare the salad dressing: Add the vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dry oregano, black pepper and salt to a small jar and mix well. ✅ 👉 ADJUST THE VINEGAR AND MAPLE SYRUP TO YOUR TASTE.
Add chopped parsley and dressing to the vegetables. Mix well and serve with your meal.
✅ 👉 NOTE: ADD THE SALAD DRESSING JUST BEFORE SERVING.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 ADJUST THE VINEGAR AND MAPLE SYRUP in the salad dressing TO YOUR TASTE
👉 ADD THE SALAD DRESSING JUST BEFORE SERVING
👉 Add the salad dressing little at a time to the salad and taste as you go. Do not add the entire salad dressing at once. Remember you can always add more dressing but cannot remove it once added 🙂
