How to make Quinoa with textured soy and vegetables:

• Textured soy must be hydrated for about an hour before starting to prepare our recipe. So keep in mind the time and leave the soybeans soaking with enough water.
• So, to start with our quinoa recipe, the first thing we must do is clean all the vegetables very well and cut them into thin julienne strips.
• We take advantage and heat the vegetable broth.
• On the other hand, we heat a little water with salt in another saucepan where we will add the beans. We cook only about 5 minutes, drain and stop cooking with an ice water bath.
• This process is known as blanching and we will have to do it again with the snow peas.
• Next, heat a few drops of oil in a frying pan and sauté the vegetables together with the textured soybeans. After a few minutes, add the quinoa, stir and complete the cooking by incorporating the warm vegetable broth.
• The ratio of liquid and dry for cooking quinoa is 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of broth. To finish, add the broad beans and snow peas and keep cooking for about 15 minutes over medium heat.
• While our quinoa with textured soy dish is cooking, we take the opportunity to prepare the vegan sauce. To do this, crush the garlic together with soy milk, lemon juice and a pinch of salt, you can use a hand blender or do it by hand in a mortar.
• Then go adding the olive oil, little by little in the form of a thread, until the mixture takes on a texture similar to that of mayonnaise.
• This type of vegan mayonnaise can be made with other types of milk such as rice or oatmeal. If you have doubts, you can review the recipe for Vanesa step by step with photos.
• Since we already have everything ready, we only have to plate it up to enjoy our quinoa dish with textured soy and vegetables. So serve a good portion of quinoa, on top of the sautéed and decorate with a spoon of the sauce on top.
