-
Cook the Quinoa:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
-
Prepare the Stir-Fry:
- Heat olive oil or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrot, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Season the Stir-Fry:
- In a small bowl, mix gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). Pour the mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Divide the cooked quinoa among serving plates or bowls.
- Top with the stir-fried vegetables.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of Sriracha if desired.
Tips for Customization:
- Add protein like tofu, tempeh, shrimp, or chicken for a more filling meal.
- Use cauliflower rice instead of quinoa for a low-carb option.
- Experiment with other veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or asparagus for variety.
This gluten-free veggie-packed dinner is healthy, flavorful, and perfect for any night of the week. Enjoy! 🥦🥕🍚
