Ingredients 

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 ½ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup peas frozen
  • ⅔ cup cabbage chopped
  • ½ carrot chopped
  • ½ cup broccoli chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a pan, add the olive oil and garlic.
  • Heat them together.
  • Add the carrot and cabbage, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the peas, broccoli, and quinoa.
  • Stir everything together for about 1 minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth, cover, lower the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the soy sauce, and cover again for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the green onions just before serving.

Notes

Rinse the quinoa before cooking if it isn't pre-rinsed, and add the soy sauce off the heat so it seasons the dish without turning harsh. Swap the soy sauce for tamari to keep it gluten-free. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
