Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 10 1/2 oz package extra-firm low-fat tofu

1/2 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 onion -- minced

3 celery stalks -- chopped

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables -- thawed

 

Cut the tofu into small cubes and marinate in teriyaki sauce for at least 30

minutes.

Rinse the quinoa several times by running fresh water over it in a pot and

pouring through a strainer.

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the

heat, cover, and simmer until all water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set

aside.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the ginger and stir. Add the

onion and celery, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the cooked quinoa, soy sauce, and marinated tofu to the skillet. Stir once,

cover, and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, covered, or until vegetables are heated

through. Do not overcook.
