Asian Quinoa image

I love to cook and come up with new recipes. I serve this dish at least once a month and sometimes more. For a different twist, I'll occasionally add a scrambled egg or use soy sauce instead of the rice vinegar. -Sonya Labbe, Santa Monica, California

This recipe is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it for lunch during the week.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this recipe. The tofu is a great source of protein and the vegetables add a lot of flavor.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try making it again with less chili sauce next time.
