Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame
Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups quinoa, rinsed
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
  • 2 1/2 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
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek), or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large cooking vessel with water, quinoa, and vegetable bouillon. Place the mixture over high heat and bring it to a rolling boil.
2
Add edamame to the pot, cover it with a lid, and let it cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and fully cooked.
3
In a separate pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Introduce sliced onions and bell peppers to the pan, stirring occasionally until they become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Add minced ginger and garlic to the pan and stir until they release their fragrance, around 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat source.
5
Mix in soy sauce, chopped cilantro, and chile paste into the pan contents. Stir well to combine.
6
Gradually incorporate the onion mixture into the quinoa mixture, then let it simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until all excess broth has been absorbed, roughly 5 minutes.
