Warm Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds

Healthier_Me

Quinoa is often called a supergrain. Because it contains all 8 essential amino acids, it is considered a complete protein. It has a delicate flavor, but some people don’t care for it because they find it has a bitter aftertaste. Toasting quinoa helps reduce the bitterness and bring out its tasty nutty flavor. Look for it in health food stores and some supermarkets.

1 1/2 cup(s) quinoa
2 1/2 cup(s) (plus 1 tablespoon) water
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon(s) rice vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon(s) grated peeled fresh ginger
2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
1/4 cup(s) sliced natural almonds, toasted

In 12-inch skillet, toast quinoa on medium 5 minutes or until fragrant and golden, stirring frequently.
Stir 2 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt into toasted quinoa; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 17 minutes or until all water is absorbed.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil, ginger, green onions, and remaining 1 tablespoon water.
Transfer quinoa to large serving bowl. Stir in soy sauce mixture until quinoa is evenly coated. Sprinkle with toasted almonds to serve.

Quinoa is the best. We eat it for breakfast and dinner. This sounds wonderful. Thanks again Joanna.
One suggestion-Rinse the Quinoa really well before cooking.
