Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame image

I adapted this from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying and relatively high in plant-based protein. Enjoy!

3 ½ cups water
2 cups quinoa, rinsed

The tofu in this dish was a bit too firm for my liking. I would recommend using a softer tofu next time.
