Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 9
Rinse the quinoa well under running water. In a small saucepan, bring the water (or broth) to a boil. Add the quinoa, lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
- STEP 2 OF 9
Let it rest covered for a few minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
- STEP 3 OF 9
Put the dried shiitake mushroom slices in a bowl with lukewarm water for at least 20-30 minutes, until softened. Drain and gently squeeze them to remove excess water. Keep the soaking water: strain it and set it aside.
- STEP 4 OF 9
In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. If using it, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds without burning it.
- STEP 5 OF 9
Add the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until they are tender and lightly golden. If necessary, add a little of the mushroom soaking water to prevent them from drying out too much.
- STEP 6 OF 9
In a bowl, arrange the cooked quinoa as the base. Add the avocado slices or cubes and the sautéed shiitake mushrooms.
- STEP 7 OF 9
Season the bowl with soy sauce. If you like, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a fresh touch.
- STEP 8 OF 9
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh herbs.
- STEP 9 OF 9
Enjoy your quinoa bowl with shiitake and avocado right away!
