What is the purpose of using a cooking ring for serving?

A cooking ring helps present the dish neatly, allowing you to layer the quinoa at the base and spoon the stir-fried vegetables attractively over the top.

Can I adjust the amount of soy sauce in the stir-fried vegetables?

Yes, the recipe suggests a generous splash of soy sauce, but you can adjust it to your taste preference for saltiness and umami in the sauteed mushrooms and onions.

How do I ensure the quinoa doesn't burn while cooking?

The recipe advises checking the quinoa regularly while it simmers for about 12 minutes to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.

Can I use other types of mushrooms besides brown mushrooms?

While the recipe specifies brown mushrooms, you could experiment with other varieties like cremini or shiitake, keeping in mind their flavor and texture differences when stir-frying.

How to Prepare Quinoa with Stir-Fried Vegetables [Vegan]

Rinse the quinoa under cold running water. Put the quinoa in a cooking pot and add twice the amount of water. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the red beet under running water (see tip). Dice it into ½-inch (1 cm) cubes and add these to the quinoa. Add a generous splash of olive oil and season with plenty of black pepper and a little bit of salt. Cover the pot and let simmer for about 12 minutes. Slice the onions in rings and the mushrooms in slices. Sauté them in plenty of olive oil until soft. Once they’re cooked, season with salt and pepper and add a generous splash of soy sauce.
Check the quinoa regularly to make sure it doesn’t burn. Use a cooking ring to serve your quinoa and spoon the vegetables over the quinoa.
