Have I mentioned how much I love the Hummusapien food blog? Well here's another recipe from her that gets 5 stars. It is full of nutritious veggies, protein rich quinoa and edamame, and deliciously healthy fat from cashews. Not to mention, it tastes dynamite.
The secret to this quick and easy stir fry is the sauce. Bottled grocery store teriyaki sauce is honestly scary. I shudder to think about some of those ingredient lists.
This sauce is simply made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha and....canned pineapple for sweetness! That's it! In her recipe she calls for 2T of sweetener but it honestly doesn't need it! It is sweet and perfectly balanced as is! Now thats a sauce you can feel good about.
The stir fry itself is full of delicious onion, garlic, ginger, shredded carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, quinoa (or brown rice), edamame, and cashews.
I whipped up this dish with a friend one evening and we had a lot of fun making it. You just need to start the quinoa, chop up the veggies, blend the sauce, and then sauté everything! We ate outside and it was the perfect fresh dish for a pleasant spring evening. There's nothing better than eating food that tastes delicious and nourishes your body at the same time. Enjoy!
