Baked Hoisin Quinoa

This Baked Hoisin Quinoa is a reliable dish in my rotation. It’s easily assembled and baked on a weeknight, but it can also be made several days in advance, making it great for a weekly meal prep session.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed

16 oz. extra firm tofu, pressed, cubed

1/2 red onion, sliced

16 oz. frozen broccoli florets

1 1/4 cup water

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

2 Tbsp. low-sodium tamari (or soy sauce)

1 Tbsp. rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

4 gloves garlic, finely minced or grated

1 “ fresh ginger root, finely minced or grated

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 cup cashews

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13” baking dish.
  2. In the baking dish, spread the rinsed quinoa in an even layer. Scatter the tofu cubes evenly over the quinoa. Next, arrange the red onion slices evenly over the tofu. Finally, scatter the broccoli florets evenly on top. Set aside.
  3. Measure water into a 2-cup measuring cup, in which you can assemble your sauce. To the water, add hoisin, tamari, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Your total liquid should equal a generous 2 cups.
  4. Pour sauce evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven, and top with 1 cup cashews. Return to the oven, and bake an additional 10 minutes.
