Vegan quinoa pan is the answer to all those days when you just don’t know what to cook. There is no time for something elaborate and it should be quick, healthy and also taste good. I feel that way a lot, especially when I’m not in the kitchen developing recipes anyway. Especially on my office days, time is running and suddenly it’s already noon again. My husband and I look at each other with hungry faces and I’m suddenly glad I still have precooked quinoa in the fridge. 20 minutes later, our favorite dish is already on the table. Let’s get started.
Vegan quinoa pan, simple and delicious!
This simple one consists of three components, quinoa, vegetables and a fine sauce. All this is topped with oven-roasted cashew nuts, which make the symbiosis perfect. Honestly, you could snack on the nuts without the quinoa pan and get hooked, they are just so delicious. By the way, here’s a recipe for my beloved roasted cashews “Asia Style”.
I like to precook the quinoa for the whole week and store it in an airtight box in the fridge. This saves an enormous amount of time and I can conveniently take out a portion of it just when I need it. For the sauce, we need tamari, maple syrup, almond paste, lime juice and a Bird Eye chili (or other chili of choice).
Otherwise, the vegetables are still missing! I use carrots, peppers, green onion and broccoli (blanched). Here you can let your imagination run wild and see what else your vegetable drawer in the fridge has to offer. Beans and zucchini are also particularly delicious in the pan.
Cook quinoa quickly and easily
Quinoa is really super quick and easy to cook. I usually put the quinoa in a pot and fill it up with water, let it boil briefly, and then immediately take the heat off.
Then I strain the quinoa, add fresh water at the correct dosage(1 part quinoa to 2 parts water) and boil for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat and let swell for another 10 minutes. Ready.
TIP: Quinoa should always be washed sufficiently with hot water (or as I do, boil briefly and strain cooking water), otherwise it can taste somewhat bitter due to the saponins it contains. If soaking was forgotten, that’s not a problem either. The pseudo cereal could then have a slightly bitter note, but this is not a big deal.
