Best Quinoa With Thai Flavors Recipes
QUINOA WITH THAI FLAVORS
This recipe for quinoa seasoned with mango, lime juice and red onion, was brought to us from Susie Fishbein by way of Julia Moskin. Ms. Fishbein is the author of the popular Kosher by Design cookbooks, which have sold more than 300,000 copies. Quinoa is popular among kosher cooks because although it tastes and chews like grains, which are forbidden during Passover, many religious and botanical authorities consider it a berry.

PAD THAI QUINOA BOWL
This recipe uses quinoa which is gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and has a nice nutty flavor. But you can always substitute for either rice or noodles. Take out the chicken and add extra edamame and you have a great vegetarian meal instead. Or add shrimp if you like. A seriously good, versatile recipe!
