Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup uncooked quinoa (about 1/2 - 3/4 cup cooked per bowl)
1 350 g package firm or extra-firm tofu
2 cups sliced white or cremini mushrooms (200 g)
2 heaping cups fresh snap peas (225 g)
1 cup peeled and grated carrot
2 cups broccoli florets, lightly steamed
1 avocado (1/4 per bowl)
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
sesame seeds for topping
1/2 cup soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger root, minced
1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut the tofu into cubes, slabs or triangles and place in a mixing bowl. Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce or gluten-free tamari and a pinch of black pepper. Place the tofu on a silicone mat or parchment paper lined baking tray and bake for 25-25 minutes until browned and crispy.
  • Cook the quinoa according to package directions or just bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of uncooked quinoa, cover, reduce to a light simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff with a fork.
  • To make the teriyaki sauce, add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a very light boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until it thickens. This can take anywhere form 5-10 minutes. It should be thick and syrupy when it's done.
  • Heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan then add the sliced mushrooms and peas. Cook over high-heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms are browning and the peas are slightly tender but still crunchy, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Either add the broccoli to the stir fry with the peas and mushrooms or steam lightly stovetop for 5 minutes until bright green and tender but not soggy.
  • To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa, stir-fried peas and mushrooms, avocado, broccoli, carrot and tofu amongst 4 bowls or containers. Drizzle each bowl with an equal amount of the teriyaki sauce. Top with sesame seeds and green onion and serve right away.
