Pad Tai Quinoa (with a Peanut Sauce)
What you'll need - Peanut Sauce:
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
What you'll need - Everything Else:
- 1 cup dry quinoa/rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup frozen vegetables (I prefer the Kroger brand Italian mix, but this is your choice)
- 1/3 cup water
How to make it:
1. Cook your 1 cup of quinoa/rice and 2 cups of water in a pot. Put the heat on high until water comes to a boil, then cover the pot, lower the heat to low, and set the timer for 15 minutes.
Note: Sometimes you need to cook the quinoa/rice longer... if it's not done in 15 minutes, try another 5-10 until all of the water is absorbed
2. Place your frozen vegetables and 1/3 cup of water in a skillet. Turn on heat and cook until water is absorbed and vegetables are hot and soft.
Note: I would suggest starting the vegetables once your quinoa/rice is almost ready. It should only take a couple of minutes to cook the vegetables.
3. While vegetables and quinoa/rice are cooking, it's time to make your peanut sauce. Put every ingredient for peanut sauce in a bowl and whisk together. Simple as that.
4. Once your quinoa/rice is ready, add peanut sauce, olive oil, and cooked vegetables. Stir, serve, and enjoy.
