Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Asian Quinoa Bowl.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa dish, grab a saucepan and bring 2 cups of water to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, add in 1 cup of quinoa, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 3
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the water.
Step 4
While the quinoa is cooking, take another medium saucepan and melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Step 5
As the butter melts, toss in diced zucchini, sliced shiitake mushrooms, minced garlic, and chopped ginger.
Step 6
Stir occasionally and let the vegetables cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, until they become tender and fragrant.
Step 7
Next, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce to the vegetable medley, stirring for an additional minute to let those wonderful flavors meld together.
Step 8
Once your quinoa is perfectly cooked, fluff it up with a fork and mix in the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Now, transfer the fluffy quinoa to a serving bowl and generously top it with your sautéed vegetable mixture.
Step 10
For the finishing touch, sprinkle some furikake seasoning and a pinch of sea salt over the top to elevate the dish.
Step 11
Serve it up and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors in every bite!.
