Ingredients

Quinoa

  • 2/3 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water

Mixed vegetable stir fry

  • Onions
  • Carrots
  • Peppers
  • Bok choy
  • Broccoli
  • Tofu

Sauce

  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp agave
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle pepper

Additional toppings

  • 1 tbsp Top with sesame seeds or finely chopped cashews optional

Instructions

  • To cook quinoa, bringing water to a boil. Wash the quinoa in a strainer, drain, and then add to the boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Cover with a lid and for 10 minutes.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, wash and dice the vegetables, and then stir fry in a hot pan. Start with onions and carrots. Add peppers after a few minutes, then bok choy.
  • Move onions, carrots, and peppers to one side of the pan. Add a bit of sesame oil to the open side of the pan. Cook tofu until browned.
  • Once tofu has browned on all sides, mix everything together and add bok choy, broccoli, and vegetable broth. Cover with a lid to steam the broccoli.
  • When broccoli is still crisp and is bright green (after cooking for about 2 minutes), add remaining sauce ingredients and seasonings. Stir thoroughly and serve the mixed vegetables spooned over the quinoa.
  • Top with sesame seeds or finely chopped cashews (optional).

Notes

This stir fry can be served over rice or noodles instead of quinoa if desired.
