Tasty Quinoa Stir Fry

This dish came together one night as a whatever-we-have-in-the-fridge moment, and it turned out to be worth repeating. Make the quinoa by the instructions on the box, then throw everything else into a pan and stir fry. Simple, quick and delicious — the best kind of meal.

Here’s what you need:

• a batch of cooked quinoa
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 ear of corn, microwave for 3 minutes, then once cooled slice the kernels off with a knife
• Handful of asparagus stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 7 oz block of baked tofu, cut into small cubes
• 1 can of organic black beans, drained and rinsed
• splash of lemon juice
• splash of lime juice
• dash of salt and pepper
• splash of soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• dash of Spike seasoning

1. Cook the quinoa and set aside. Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes. Add the bell peppers, corn and asparagus — cook until the vegetables are tender. Add the tofu and beans, cook for another 10 minutes, adding the rest of the ingredients.
2. Place a serving of quinoa on each plate and top it with the vegetable mix.
