Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp brown-rice vinegar
  • ½ cup scallions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame-oil
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 bell-pepper julienned
  • 1 tbsp wheat-free tamari
  • 3 tbsp white-sesame-seeds
  • 1 tsp grated fresh-ginger
  • 2 cups cooked red-quinoa or any variety
  • 1 small zucchini julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli-florets
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Toast your sesame-seeds. Put the seeds in a skillet and toss till they start to brown and are somewhat fragrant. Transfer to a bowl and put aside.
  • Heat the sesame-oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add veggies (except scallions), sauteing till they start to soften for 3-5minutes.
  • Don't hesitate to throw in a dash of water to give the vegetables a little-steam, this can speed-up the cooking process.
  • Once as they are softened, add the grated-ginger & sprinkle with pepper and salt. Saute together for a few minutes.
  • Add the quinoa into the pan, together with the toasted sesame-seeds, brown-rice vinegar and tamari.
  • Stir together to combine the flavors. Before you are ready to serve, gently fold on your scallions.
