Red Thai curry Quinoa Bowl

I love quick and easy recipes but it has to be flavorful and spicy for me. So when I make my dinner, I always look for that kick in my dishes. This is a perfect example of a quick delicious dinner bowl and healthy too. You can use your favorite vegetables, instead of tofu, you can use precooked or raw chicken, fish, or any seafood in that matter and instead of quinoa, brown rice, cauliflower rice. Possibilities are endless for vegetarian and nonvegetarian both.

Ingredients : 

1/2 Block firm tofu
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 each red, green capsicum
1 Carrot chopped in match sticks
1 onion chopped in Match sticks
3-4 tbsp Red curry paste or as per taste
Few thin slices of ginger
2 cloves of Garlic finely chopped
Salt as needed
Oil as needed


Method : 

Cook Quinoa as per package guide.
Add 1 tsp of oil and add 1 tbsp red curry paste and cook for a few minutes. Add quinoa and cook for 2-3 minutes. Take it out and leave it aside.

Heat oil again in the same pan, add vegetables and 1 tbsp or as per taste Red Curry paste and cook for 2-3 minutes. Don't overcook vegetables, it still has to remain crunchy. Take it out and leave it aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in the same pan, add cut tofu in it. Make it a little brown on all sides. Add Curry paste and just toss in it so it gets the flavor.

In all these three batches if you think you need to add salt then only add salt. I like to sprinkle lemon/lime juice on top and less salt in food but you can add it as per your taste.

To serve: Take one bowl, add quinoa on one side, vegetables on the other side and tofu on the other side, sprinkle lime juice on top and enjoy a hot, spicy one-pot meal.
