# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1 cup uncooked quinoa with 2 cups water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. This forms the hearty base for your Delicious High-Protein Vegan Meals.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sriracha, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste for your Delicious High-Protein Vegan Meals.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 (14-ounce) block extra-firm tofu (cubed) and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Season with salt and black pepper.
04 -
Add 1 diced red bell pepper and 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame to the skillet with the tofu. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper is slightly tender-crisp. Continue cooking until heated through.
05 -
Add the cooked quinoa and 5 ounces fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Ensure all ingredients are well combined for these Delicious High-Protein Vegan Meals.
06 -
Pour the prepared Savory Peanut Glaze over the tofu, quinoa, and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing the sauce to warm through and thicken slightly.
07 -
Divide the Delicious High-Protein Vegan Meals among four plates. Garnish each serving with 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy this satisfying dish!
# Notes:
01 -
For best tofu texture, press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15-30 minutes before cubing to remove excess water.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 -
If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add more sriracha to the peanut glaze or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet.
04 -
For a gluten-free option, ensure you use tamari instead of soy sauce and verify all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
