Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
1 large chicken breast, thinly sliced
salt and pepper
1 cup coleslaw mix
1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 green onions, chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped and divided
1/4 cup low-sodium gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
2 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon peanut butter
2 teaspoons gluten-free chili garlic sauce

Steps:

  • Add rinsed quinoa to a small saucepan with the chicken broth then bring to a boil, place a lid on top, turn heat to low and cook until quinoa has absorbed chicken broth, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork then set aside. (Can be done ahead of time.)
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl then microwave for 20 seconds. Stir until smooth then set aside. Whisk together egg and sesame oil in a small bowl then set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper then add to wok and stir fry until no longer pink. Remove to a plate then set aside.
  • Heat remaining teaspoon peanut oil in wok then add coleslaw mix, frozen edamame, and green onions. Stir fry until tender, 2-3 minutes, then push to outsides of wok, creating a clear space in the center. Add egg whisked with sesame oil to center of wok then stir fry until soft scrambled.
  • Add cooked chicken, quinoa, sauce, and half the chopped peanuts to wok then toss to combine. Serve with remaining chopped peanuts.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed)
2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
2/3 cup chopped carrots
2/3 cup shelled edamame
2/3 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoon canned coconut milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoon creamy peanut butter (it mixes in easier if it's melted)
2 garlic cloves
1 lime (juiced)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

Steps:

  • Make quinoa (see post for a tutorial for perfect quinoa if needed). Also, we like to use low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth for fuller flavor in this recipe.
  • While quinoa is cooking, combine all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and whisk well to combine. Set aside.
  • Once quinoa is finished cooking, stir in the sauce and toss well to coat. Add in chicken, carrots, edamame, and green onions, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Toss in half of the peanuts and cilantro, then serve in a large bowl, topped with remaining peanuts and cilantro or 4 smaller bowls.

PAD THAI QUINOA BOWL



Pad Thai Quinoa Bowl image

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!

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon coconut oil, divided
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
¾ cup shredded cabbage
½ cup edamame
¼ cup diced broccoli stems
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
2 green onions, chopped
3 eggs
1 teaspoon sesame oil
¼ cup natural peanut butter
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ cup salted peanuts, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir until cooked through; about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from wok. Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil. Add cabbage, edamame, broccoli, carrot, and green onions and saute until vegetables soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs with sesame oil in a small bowl. Push vegetables to the sides of the wok to make a well in the center; pour eggs in and stir to scramble, about 3 minutes.
  • Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Pour Thai peanut sauce over vegetable and egg mixture in the wok.
  • Return chicken to the wok and add quinoa; mix well to combine. Stir in chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve.
