Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under hot water in a sieve. Cook in double the amount of salted water (approx. 15 mins), then leave to rest covered.

Tip: During resting, the grains absorb remaining steam and become fluffy.
2 ✓

Dice the tofu, blot moisture with kitchen paper. Fry on all sides in hot oil until golden brown.

Tip: Don't move it constantly, let it fry to get a crust.
3 ✓

When tofu is done, drizzle with juice of half the lime, toss, and remove from pan.

Tip: The acidic lime 'burns' into the tofu.
4 ✓

In the same pan, fry the chopped garlic and ginger. Sprinkle over curry powder, heat for a few seconds.

Tip: Curry powder aromas dissolve truly in fat.
5 ✓

Pour in coconut milk, boil until thick. Stir in the cooked quinoa.

Tip: This way the quinoa takes on the flavour of the creamy sauce.
6 ✓

Serve the curry quinoa topped with tofu, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh coriander.

Tip: Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant before use.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the quinoa bitter?
It has a natural protective layer (saponin) on the skin. This must be removed with a thorough hot water wash before cooking.
How does tofu get crispy?
Press the water out of it, and fry patiently in a hot pan until it forms a crust.
