Grains Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Prepare the Tofu

   Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add broccoli florets and Brussels sprouts, and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the sautéed tofu back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in hoisin sauce and soy sauce, stirring to coat all ingredients evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the hoisin tofu and vegetable mixture over a bed of quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
