Instructions
- For quinoa, cook it with 1 cup of water in medium heat for 10 minutes, and to lower heat for the remaining 5-10 minutes of cooking. Set aside.TIP: I’ve learned that in every 1 cup of uncooked quinoa – you’ll need 2 cups of water, and this – you’ll have 3 cups of cooked quinoa. So, that’s where I measure how much water or quinoa I need when I want to cook quinoa.
- In cold water bowl; rinsing the prawns, pull off the head, peel the shell, and cut off the legs. Set aside.
- In medium heat pan, saute the prawn for about 3 minutes each side or until prawns turn pink, seasoned with mixed spices (1 tsp to 1 tbsp), stir. Set aside.
- In the same pan low-medium heat, add 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil – saute the onions, garlic, and cherry tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked quinoa, spinach, and 1 cup of water or a cup of chicken/vegetable broth and cover. In about 1-2 minutes, add the remaining mixed spices, stir and leave for a minute. Lastly, add the cooked prawns, stir and let it sit for another 1 minute.
- Set aside and ready to serve 😘.
