    Quinoa Edamame Sushi Bowl

    Aug 8, 2014 • Main Dish, Menstrual Phase

    VEGAN Quinoa Edamame Sushi Bowl with a Tahini Wasabi Dressing - seriously tastes like sushi but is way easier to prepare! From The Glowing Fridge

    Happy Friday 🙂 So this plant protein power bowl I have for you today tastes exactly like sushi.. Yes and it’s way easier to make. Well I have never actually made sushi rolls, but I am guessing this is easier and less time consuming. You will surprise yourself and impress someone else, maybe? Hah. Someday I will attempt to make actual sushi rolls (which I am kinda scared to do) but for now, this Quinoa Edamame Sushi Bowl will be my go-to because its pure vegan sushi goodness in a bowl. Seriously. I love everything in ONE bowl! When the quinoa, edamame, cucumber, carrots, crispy tofu, creamy avocado, green onion, pickled ginger, nori and dressing come together, your tastebuds are celebrating. And the dressing is so perfect. It’s a mix of tahini and wasabi which give it extra sushi flavor. Sushi bowl for the win! I know sushi is usually made with rice, but why not use quinoa? It packs a punch when it comes to nutrients and is a complete protein. And it cooks in 15 minutes. You could totally use brown rice if you want to though.

    Marty and I used to go out to sushi all the time! So he is super happy I can (kind of) make it at home, pretty quickly too. There were a few new ingredients I had to purchase – which were more reasonably priced than I thought they would be, and I found them at Jewel (local grocery store) as well as Whole Foods. Who knew? I am new to all this 😉

    Jewel had the pickled ginger and wasabi sushi powder while I found the Vegan Korean Nori at Whole Foods. How adorable is the name for this Nori?! Sea Tangle Snacks?! I love it. There were a bunch of different kinds, but I couldn’t resist this one. I tried eating a piece of Nori plain, and I just couldn’t do it. When used as a topping, or mixed in with everything, it’s yummy! But plain – I am not so sure..  Some people love it as a snack though. If you don’t know what Nori is, it’s basically seaweed. Well, it is seaweed, a superfood packed with protein, mineral salts and vitamins. You could also use kelp granules or dulse flakes! You don’t have to add in the nori but it really adds to the flavor as a whole.

    Quinoa Edamame Sushi Bowl with a Tahini Wasabi Dressing

    Description

    A delicious deconstructed vegan sushi bowl full of flavor and paired with the perfect tahini wasabi dressing


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 8oz. package extra-firm organic tofu
    • 2 tablespoons tamari
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
    • 1 cup shelled edamame, uncooked
    • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
    • 1 avocado, chopped into bite-size pieces
    • 1 green onion, chopped small
    • 1/2 of a cucumber, chopped
    • 2–3 tablespoons pickled ginger, chopped small
    • 2 sheets of vegan nori, thinly sliced/chopped into pieces
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

    Tahini – Wasabi Dressing

    • 1 teaspoon + 1/4 teaspoon wasabi
    • 2 teaspoons water
    • 1/4 cup tahini
    • 1 tablespoon tamari
    • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

    Instructions

    1. Drain package of tofu. Cut tofu into bite size pieces. Lay 2 paper towels (or one clean kitchen towel) on a large plate. Spread out tofu on plate. Lay 2 more paper towels or kitchen towel on top of the tofu. Place a fairly heavy book on top and set aside for 30 minutes. (This absorbs excess water in tofu)
    2. Cook quinoa and edamame according to directions and set aside.
    3. When tofu is ready, place in a medium-sized bowl and pour 2 tablespoons tamari over. Mix until all tofu is covered in tamari. Heat a pan/wok on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. When pan is hot, add tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-10 minutes depending how hot the pan is) You want it to be crispy and golden!
    4. After all vegetables are cut/prepared, start making the dressing. Make a wasabi paste by mixing the wasabi powder and water in a small bowl. Then add the tahini, tamari and rice wine vinegar and whisk until well combined.
    5. Now we can assemble our sushi bowls. First add quinoa to bowl, then vegetables, tofu, pickled ginger, nori and sesame seeds. Pour dressing over, mix around and enjoy!

    Notes

    • This bowl can be served warm or cold, either way is delicious.

        Hi Darly, Yay! I love to hear that! Sushi bowls are one of my favorite things to make for dinner, it’s much easier than making your own sushi rolls! 🙂

    SHANNON // Hair Growth Tips
    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
