If you substitute rice for quinoa in recipes, you will not only obtain a much more nutritious dish but also a very original one. Give it a try, it's easier to prepare than you think!
Finely chop the onion and garlic, sauté them in a pan with sesame oil or canola oil until they become transparent.
Cut the broccoli florets to your preferred size and add them to the pan. Stir occasionally.
Cut the carrots into small cubes and add them to the pot along with the broccoli. Season with soy sauce.
Slice the mushrooms into semi-thick pieces.
When the carrots are slightly soft, add the mushrooms. Let them release their water before adjusting the seasoning, otherwise, you risk over-salting.
Rinse the quinoa under running water and cook it in plenty of water (usually 1 cup of quinoa for 2 cups of water). Cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
There should be a sort of thread inside each seed, and when tasted, it should feel soft and not crunchy; add a bit more water if necessary and keep cooking until fully done.
Mix the vegetables and quinoa, stirring gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
