Units
Scale
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) multicolor quinoa
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) brown rice
- 4 cups (946 ml) water
- 0.5 vegetable bouillon cube
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2-3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 baby bok choy
- 1 cups (237 ml) sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups (473 ml) broccoli florets
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 1 avocado
Instructions
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, whisk well, and set aside.
- Prepare the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa and brown rice, place in a pot, add 4 cups of water and vegetable bouillon. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa and rice are tender.
- While the quinoa cooks, wrap the tofu in paper towels and press to remove excess water. Cut into cubes and lightly toss with cornstarch.
- Heat a large wok pan over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F/190°C) and add 1-2 tablespoons of neutral oil.
- Add the vegetables and cook, stirring often, until softened and fragrant. Transfer vegetables to a plate and add more oil to the pan.
- Add the cornstarch-covered tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp.
- Return the vegetables to the pan and add the teriyaki sauce, as needed. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately over the quinoa and rice mixture. Garnish with sliced avocado and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For extra crispy tofu, press it for at least 30 minutes before cooking, or use a tofu press.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables for the carrots, bok choy, mushrooms, or broccoli.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently.
