Instructions

Rinse quinoa well with hot water. Cook in double the salted water (15 mins), then rest covered.

Tip: Resting makes it fluffy.
2 ✓

Cube tofu and pat dry. Fry in hot oil until golden on all sides.

Tip: Let it sit to form a crust; don't move it constantly.
3 ✓

When tofu is done, drizzle with juice from half the lime, toss, and remove from pan.

Tip: The lime juice cooks into the tofu for a tangy kick.
4 ✓

In the same pan, sauté minced garlic and ginger. Add curry powder and heat briefly.

Tip: Fat carries the flavor.
5 ✓

Add coconut milk and simmer to thicken. Stir in quinoa.

Tip: The quinoa absorbs the creamy sauce.
6 ✓

Serve topped with the lime tofu, toasted sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Tip: Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan first for better flavor.
