It’s about time I shared this recipe with all of you beautiful people. I’ve been making this for me and Turan on repeat for about two years and he keeps telling me I need to share it with my Nutrition Squeezed community, so here it is! Better late than never, right? 😉
There is so much to love about this recipe. It’s full of hearty plant protein (edamame and quinoa are both complete proteins), the rainbow of colorful veggies means you’re getting your daily dose of phytonutrients, and the ginger adds flavor and warmth during cold winter nights. Plus, if you make quinoa ahead of time, this is a one-pan meal for easy weeknight clean up! While I called this recipe a stir fry, it’s technically sautéed because I don’t have a wok in my tiny NYC apartment. If you have a wok, feel free to use it, or just use your largest frying pan and the recipe will turn out just as delicious.
