Here’s a Thai-inspired veggie and quinoa power bowl recipe that you are going to want to eat all week! My meat and potatoes husband said it was “surprisingly good” and wanted more. Oh ya, that’s a win!
This recipe is quick to make, and works well with leftover cooked quinoa.
I double batched cooked this recipe because the original recipe that I used only made two servings. I like to cook once and have a few meals. With two little ones on the go, I don’t have time to be cooking every meal from scratch anymore. This recipe is great for cooking up extras, and trust me, the flavour holds up!
I also have a secret to share with you …I didn’t have fresh broccoli in the house, so I used frozen broccoli that I thawed! It worked out really well, as it wasn’t as strong in flavour as raw broccoli.
I have both toasted white and black sesame seeds. You can purchase them at the bulk store or the international food section of the supermarket. I find it works best to store them in glass jars.
The dressing is super easy to make and mixes easily in a glass jar.
Make sure you pack the leftovers for lunch!
Here is the recipe! I hope you enjoy!
