Thai Curry Quinoa

For non Vegan or Vegetarian option, simply add meat. I recommend using rotisserie chicken chunks or grilled chicken or other cooked meat. Reason? Simple: To save time and you don't have to handle raw meat :)

This quinoa is cooked like risotto, the dish will be semi wet, similar to how you pour curry soup over your rice. If you want it more wet, add 1/4 cup more coconut milk. If you want it dry, cook the quinoa with coconut milk. Personally, I think the coconut milk flavor is more apparent when it is cooked like this below.

• 1 cup chopped mushrooms (any kind. I personally like shitake)

• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1 cup firm tofu - blocks
• 1/2 cup tomato chunks
