Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot, combine water, rinsed quinoa, and vegetable bouillon. Bring to a boil, then stir in the frozen edamame. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking until the quinoa is tender and the edamame is heated through (approximately 15-20 minutes).
02
StepWhile the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing until the onions become translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant (approximately 2 minutes). Remove from heat.
03
StepStir in reduced-sodium soy sauce, chopped fresh cilantro, and hot chile paste to the skillet with the vegetables. Adjust the amount of chili paste to your desired level of spiciness.
04
StepAdd the skillet mixture to the pot with the quinoa and edamame. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until any excess broth has been absorbed and the flavors have melded together (approximately 5 minutes).
