How to Make Teriyaki Quinoa Gluten Free

  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water for 2-3 minutes to remove any bitterness.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups of water, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, stir well, and then cover.
  4. Simmer for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through and fluffy.
  5. While the quinoa cooks, whisk together in a small bowl: 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free), 1 tablespoon agave nectar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  6. Once the quinoa is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the teriyaki sauce mixture.
  7. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Fluff the quinoa with a fork, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
  9. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy teriyaki quinoa!
