💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa recipe.
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 Servings)
👉 To Cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Toasted Quinoa (I have used tri-colour quinoa)
1+1/4 Cup / 300ml Water
👉 Other Ingredients:
1 Cup / 125g Red Bell Pepper - thinly sliced
1 Cup / 100g Purple Cabbage - Shredded
1 Cup / 100g Carrot - Cut into julienne strips
1 Cup / 150g Cucumber - cut into small pieces
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 15g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) - chopped
1/2 Cup / 65g Toasted Peanuts
👉 SALAD DRESSING:
3 Tablespoon Lemon Juice OR TO TASTE
1 Teaspoon Ginger - Grated or minced
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic - Grated or minced
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
2 Tablespoon Maple syrup
2 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil or to taste
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt to Taste (I have added 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
▶️ METHOD:
Start by chopping the vegetables and set it aside.
Toast the quinoa on medium to medium-heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 2 minutes or until the seeds starts to crackle and releases it's nutty aroma. By now your kitchen should be filled with this toasty nutty aroma :)
IMMEDIATELY transfer the toasted quinoa to a sieve - spread it out and allow it to cool down completely.
👉 PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE the toasted quinoa in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
👉 Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
Once the quinoa has cooled down, wash it thoroughly, then tranfer it to a wide pan and add the water. Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY, that will ruin the dish. As soon as the quinoa is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and spread it our evenly and allow it to cool down completely.
To prepare the dressing add lemon juice, grated/minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper to a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set it aside.
By now the quinoa would have cooled down, if not, wait till it completely cools down. Add the bell pepper, purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, red onion, green onion, cilantro and peanuts to the mixing bowl with quinoa. Stir the dressing again to make sure everything is well incorporated. Then add the dressing to the quinoa/veggies and mix well.
You can eat it right away, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL THE SALAD IN THE REFRIDGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and it tastes so good cold
This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning - it stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, if stored well in an airtight container.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, reduce the heat
👉 Once the quinoa is toasted, right away transfer it to a sieve or a plate for it to cool down. Please DO NOT LEAVE IT in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
👉 Wash the toasted quinoa, only when it has completely cooled down
👉 Regarding cooking the quinoa, do not let the quinoa get mushy. Cook for 10 minutes or just until quinoa is cooked but still holds it's shape
👉 After you mix the dressing with the quinoa and veggies, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and tastes so good cold
👉 This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning, as it stores in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - if stored well in an airtight container

LEGENDAS EM PORTUGUÊS POR FAVOR 🙏🙏🙏🙏OBRIGADA

[@julietlewis7125]

Thank you for sharing . Why did you toast Quinoa?

[@sandrasgotvoice]

Your videographer deserves an Emmy award!

[@FoodImpromptu]

That's so kind! I'm actually a 1 person show over here, so hearing that makes me so happy. Thanks so much! 😊

[@thethriftyfawn]

@@FoodImpromptu Are you KIDDING ME??!? Your production quality is SO GOOD, I was CERTAIN this was an effort of at least a small team of individuals. WOW, just WOW!

[@ginafriend1690]

​@@FoodImpromptu I wouldn't have ever thought! WOW, Congratulations to You!!!!

[@aditipriyakhushipriya2814]

😊😊

[@natashadonnelly7939]

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was fantastic! I loved the dressing and the ratio of quinoa to veggies. It was nice--substantial but not too grain heavy. We'll be making this one again--thanks for the recipe.

[@FoodImpromptu]

So awesome to hear that! Glad you liked it 😊

[@blancanunez5133]

Ok this would definitely be my summer work lunch!😋😋 gracias!

[@VeganonaBudget]

Hey there! 🌱🍲 This Quinoa Nourish Bowl is a total game-changer! 🙌💚 Packed with protein and bursting with flavor, that Asian dressing takes it to a whole new level! Can't wait to whip this up and feel totally nourished. Thanks for the inspo! Keep those amazing recipes coming! 👏👏👏

[@swatkasham5509]

This looks so delicious and inviting! Will suit my new healthy eating lifestyle as I'm on a weight loss journey. I cannot wait to make this! Thank you for sharing this recipe💜

[@rosastratton4169]

Yes, I enjoyed very much watching you make it! It's beautiful and so colorful. Will make as soon as I can! Keep cooking 🥘 🧑‍🍳

[@avocadoqueen.]

Beautifully done as always! It's also nice that the quinoa doesn't need to soak beforehand. Can't wait to try!

[@tinaboamah3406]

I’ve already made this salad 3 times now in one month and I will be making more of it!! I love the flavour in the salad dressing and how it complements all the vegetables, so tasty!! Thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤

[@FoodImpromptu]

So great to hear that! Glad you’re enjoying this recipe 😊

[@GoldenBirdBrain]

I just made this, followed the directions and amount exactly. Now I wish I had made a double batch-wholesome and refreshing!

[@FoodImpromptu]

So great to hear that! Glad you liked it 😊

[@nmf6620]

Thank you, for this salad recipe. I've made it twice and enjoyed it immensely. I've been searching for healthy recipes with quinoa and cabbage and you absolutely hit the mark. I did change this recipe a little by adding arugula, edamame or roasted tofu plus 1 teaspoon sugar and used only 1 tablespoon sesame oil (trying to limit oil intake). This recipe is definitly a keeper!

[@FoodImpromptu]

So great to hear that! Glad you liked it 😊

[@annelauzon567]

Made this today. Sooo good. Will be making this recipe again. Thanks !!

[@trudymorgan2785]

I love your videos, and I tried several of your dishes. Today I made the red lentil quinoa with sweet potatoes, green beans, and it is delicious. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@FoodImpromptu]

So great to hear that! Glad you like the recipes 😊

[@sweetpeanmolly]

I appreciate the calmness of this voice. 🙏

[@jh-mp8so]

What voice? Just overly loud sounds

[@sudharajagopalan9846]

The brisk, no-fuss, clean, and colorful presentation caught my attention right away. The clicks of the stove, the frying of the pan, the chopping of the lemon, the squeezing of its juices, and the pouring of the ingredients one after another were simply musical to my ears! Wow. Now I know what I am going to do for dinner tonight and probably every night!

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! 😊

[@user-hw2kl1yu5z]

Oh my gosh this will be my go to meal. Simple, clean, beautiful, and nourishing. Thank you so much for that.

As a vegan and someone very interested in health, food, beauty and diet, I find your presentations have a quiet humility. There is a knowledge and respect for the food that resonates with me. Most of your dishes I can try. I feel like my ability to continue on a plant based diet is aided by your channel. Thank-you! ✨🌞✨

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you! So glad you liked it 😊

[@sahamal_savu]

I think I would use less sesame oil for the dressing, maybe the sesame oil I have is stronger than the one you're using but it can easily overpower the other flavours. Thanks for another great video 😃

[@annelauzon567]

Another winning recipe. I am not vegeterian or vegan but your recipes have inspired me to try meals with that do not include meat. Summer is upon us and all these great meals will be lovely on hot summer days. Thank you.
