My review
Pad Thai Quinoa Bowl
Lisa
"This recipe uses quinoa which is gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and has a nice nutty flavor. But you can always substitute for either rice or noodles.
Take out the chicken and add extra edamame and you have a great vegetarian meal instead. Or add shrimp if you like. A seriously good, versatile recipe!"

Ready In
- Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir until cooked through; about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from wok. Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil. Add cabbage, edamame, broccoli, carrot, and green onions and saute until vegetables soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Whisk eggs with sesame oil in a small bowl. Push vegetables to the sides of the wok to make a well in the center; pour eggs in and stir to scramble, about 3 minutes.
- Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Pour Thai peanut sauce over vegetable and egg mixture in the wok.
- Return chicken to the wok and add quinoa; mix well to combine. Stir in chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You can tell when quinoa is cooked because it will increase in size and seem more transparent with a ribbon around the edges. Make sure all the liquid is cooked off.
- Tip
- Parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.

I made a vegan version, without the chicken and egg. It was delicious! I love Thai food so this will become a recipe that I repeat frequently.

Loved this! Topped with more green onions and sriracha to taste. Next time I would either double the edamame or add some sliced water chestnuts for more crunch. I may try it with rice noodles...
