Coconut Curry Quinoa with Broccoli & Tofu

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
While cream soup makes everything homogeneous, here texture play is key. The coconut curry sauce surrounds fluffy quinoa and crunchy broccoli without making them soggy. Timing is everything: elements are prepared separately and married only at the end so each retains its character. A one-bowl meal turning a weekday dinner into a feast.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse quinoa in hot water, then cook in double the amount of salted water for 15 minutes. Let sit covered.

Tip: Resting allows remaining moisture to distribute evenly.
2 ✓

Press tofu with paper towels, cube it, and fry in half the heated olive oil in the skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Tip: If not overcrowded, tofu will fry instead of steam. (Maillard reaction).
3 ✓

Separate broccoli into florets. Add a splash of water to the same skillet, add broccoli, cover, and steam 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp. Remove this too.

Tip: Steaming preserves vitamins and color. (Stopping enzyme activity).
4 ✓

Pour remaining oil into skillet, sauté chopped garlic, ginger, and curry powder for 1 minute.

Tip: Careful, garlic becomes bitter quickly if burned!
5 ✓

Pour in coconut milk, season with salt/pepper, and simmer slightly (approx. 5 minutes).

Tip: Simmering concentrates flavors and thickens sauce.
6 ✓

Toss quinoa and broccoli into the sauce to warm through. Serve topped with crispy tofu, toasted sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Tip: Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan before serving for extra flavor.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute coconut milk?
Heavy cream or cooking cream works, but the distinctive Asian flavor profile will be different.
What if the broccoli overcooked?
Steam for less time next time! For now, blend it into the sauce to thicken it and serve with fresh veggies on the side.
