Method

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 1

    Rehydrate Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

    In a bowl, soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes until they are fully rehydrated. Drain and chop them into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become crispy. Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, soy sauce, and fresh thyme. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until fragrant and well combined.

Vegetable Base

  1. 3

    Cook Quinoa

    In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Sauté Spinach and Carrot

    In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated large carrot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Then add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Base Ingredients

    Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and mix in the sautéed spinach and carrot. Stir to combine.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Zen Bowl

    In a serving bowl, place a generous portion of the quinoa and vegetable mixture, top with the sautéed mushrooms, sliced avocado, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Drizzle with Sriracha sauce to taste.
