Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame

Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups quinoa, rinsed
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable bouillon (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 sweet onions, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek), or to taste (optional)


  1. Bring water, quinoa, and vegetable bouillon to a boil in a large pot; stir in edamame, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions and bell peppers until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce, cilantro, and chile paste.
  3. Stir onion mixture into quinoa mixture; simmer, stirring occasionally, until excess broth has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
