A fellow food blogger and an inspiration I connected on the Food Bloggers of Canada group, Gabby Peyton, and decided to be a part of the Around the World in Twelve Plates Challenge, a blogging challenge that requires us to prepare dishes and experiment with cuisines from different countries, each month.
Beginning with China for January I came up with Asian Style Quinoa, using the Stir Fry method of cooking, with the traditional Chinese wok as my instrument. In vegetarian authentic Chinese food. I have clubbed this with Tofu, a vegetarian option commonly used in Asian cooking. For non-vegetarians, you can add shrimp instead of Tofu.
Asian Style Quinoa can be eaten itself as a meal, or enjoyed with a sauce / gravy with veggies as a substitute to Vegetable Fried Rice. A healthy and appetizing option, this hardly takes up any cooking time and makes for a great evening meal after a tired day at work.
