Recipe Summary 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!Ingredients | Khao San Pad Thai4 cups low-sodium chicken broth2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained1 tablespoon coconut oil, divided1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips¾ cup shredded cabbage½ cup edamame¼ cup diced broccoli stems2 carrots, cut into matchsticks2 green onions, chopped3 eggs1 teaspoon sesame oil¼ cup natural peanut butter¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce3 tablespoons rice vinegar2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger3 cloves garlic, minced1 teaspoon sesame oil½ cup salted peanuts, chopped3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantroDirectionsBring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan.
