Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame image

I adapted this from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying and relatively high in plant-based protein. Enjoy!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ½ cups water
2 cups quinoa, rinsed
4 teaspoons vegetable bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
2 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 sweet onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
6 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek), or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water, quinoa, and vegetable bouillon to a boil in a large pot; stir in edamame, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
