Quinoa Recipe • Easy Asian Quinoa

I threw this quinoa together while trying to make a dish with what I had left in my kitchen. To my surprise, it was wonderful and easy!

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup quinoa
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 zucchini, diced
• 12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon furikake (Japanese nori seasoning), or to taste
• ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, butter in a medium saucepan. Add zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
3. Mix remaining soy sauce into the cooked quinoa; scoop into a serving bowl. Top with the vegetable mixture. Garnish with furikake seasoning and sea salt.
