Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 12 oz sliced white mushrooms
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Nonstick cooking oil spray
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or mild cooking oil)
  • 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed with excess water removed, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • For bowls: mixed greens, thinly sliced baby cucumbers, avocado, scallions

Instructions

  1. To a small saucepan add quinoa and 1 ¾ cups water or broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until all water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered.
  2. Coat a large skillet over medium-high heat with nonstick cooking oil spray. Add mushrooms and bell peppers. Season with ½ teaspoon smoked paprika and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Saute until soft to fork, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan.
  3. While the vegetables cook, toss the tofu in cornstarch and remaining smoked paprika and black pepper.
  4. When the vegetables are done cooking, remove from the pan and transfer to a bowl.
  5. Add oil to the pan and turn down the heat to medium. Add tofu to the pan, cooking on all sides until crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. When the tofu is done, add the vegetables back to the pan. Add soy sauce and mix together.
  7. To assemble bowls, add a large handful of mixed greens, then top with thinly sliced cucumbers, quinoa, tofu and vegetables, scallions and avocado. Drizzle additional soy sauce on top, as desired. Enjoy warm!
