Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cup water
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, untoasted or olive oil
  • 5 mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cup bok choy, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 lime, zested and then juiced
  • 2 Tbsp tamari, or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa with water, then drain. Put the quinoa, water and a pinch of sea salt, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Quinoa is fully cooked when you see the swirl of the grains, with a translucent center, and it is fluffy. Do not stir the quinoa while it is cooking.
  • In a large pan, heated to medium, add the sesame oil and mushrooms. Stir the mushrooms to coat them in oil, then allow them to cook until they are soft and are starting to release their juice. Add the peppers next, allowing them time to start to release their juice. Then add the bok choy, leaving it until the green parts have just started to wilt.
  • Add the ginger and lime zest, along with the salt, and stir to distribute through the vegetables. Next, add the cooked quinoa and gently stir through the vegetables.
  • Combine the lime juice, tamari and toasted sesame oil, then pour over the dish. Stir once more gently, then serve. Sesame seeds make a lovely garnish.
