Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- 4 ounces snow peas, thinly sliced on an angle
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 scallion, white and green, sliced
Directions
Place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir once, cover and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes, uncover and fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the snow peas, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until bright green but still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine the cooked quinoa, mushroom mixture, soy sauce, scallions and remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a medium bowl. Toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I was disappointed. Not enough flavor for my taste. So when I finished making it, following the recipe, I added more soy sauce, more scallions, more sesame oil and threw in garlic powder. Served it warm and we enjoyed it. I have used quinoa as a rice substitute for some time now. One dish that turns out great is fried quinoa, just like fried rice, but with cold (day before quinoa instead of rice. Another is arroz con pollo.
