Chinese cabbage with quinoa

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • ½ head of Chinese cabbage
  • 200 g mushrooms
  • 1 cup quinoa, colored
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Vegetable stock powder
  • Salt
  • pepper
  • turmeric
  • 2 tbsp peanuts, salted
  • Fat for frying, e.g., ghee

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Since I used leftovers, the quantities are approximate.

Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions; I use soup seasoning/vegetable broth instead of salt. Slice or quarter the mushrooms, depending on their size, and fry them in a little fat (I used butter/ghee, but any good oil is just as good). Add the finely sliced ​​Chinese cabbage and sauté until lightly browned. Then deglaze with a little water and soy sauce and simmer for a few minutes, until the cabbage reaches the desired firmness. Season with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Stir in the cooked quinoa and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes. If using cold quinoa, let it simmer for 4-6 minutes to ensure it’s properly heated. Arrange everything on a plate and sprinkle with the peanuts.
