Ingredients:

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 1 tablespoon organic sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups organic broccoli florets
  • 2 organic carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup organic snap peas
  • 1 block organic tofu or tempeh, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons organic tamari sauce
  • 1 tablespoon organic rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

For the Quinoa:

  • 1 cup organic quinoa
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon organic olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

Preparing the Quinoa:

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the rinsed quinoa and stir to coat with oil.
  4. Pour in the water or vegetable broth and add the sea salt.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.

Making the Stir-Fry:

  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the cubed tofu or tempeh and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  5. Return the tofu or tempeh to the skillet.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the tamari sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup (if using). Pour the sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  7. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Serving:

  1. Divide the cooked quinoa among four plates or bowls.
  2. Top each serving with the vegetable stir-fry.
  3. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu or tempeh in tamari sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other organic vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or baby corn to the stir-fry.
  • Adjust the tamari sauce to your taste preference for a more or less salty dish.
