Sake Quinoa:
Servings: 4 people
Cook Time: 20min
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
Fresh bunch of chard
Fresh bunch of celery Leaf
Fresh bunch of basil
1 medium shallot
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp cooking sake
1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
Instructions:
In a medium sized saucepan, start to boil water and quinoa over medium heat. Boil, then bring to a simmer till all water is absorbed into the quinoa. Quinoa is finished once light and fluffy, stir occasionally to not burn the bottom grains.
Meanwhile, chiffonade or chop leafy greens to a preferred size.
Sauté minced garlic, diced shallots, red pepper flakes, and olive oil over medium heat. Once the shallots are a bit translucent and garlic slightly browned, add in leafy greens. Stir frequently.
Once quinoa is finished, add into sauté pan, and mix ingredients.
Add cooking sake, mirin, and soy sauce; mix ingredients together.
Add salt and pepper to taste based on preference.
Plate and feast!! (Fun twist: add edible flowers such as Calendula)
