Preparation
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, water, salt, and pepper.
- Reserve half of the sauce for serving and add the tofu to the bowl with the remaining sauce. Toss to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a small pot over medium heat. Cook the tofu until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the tofu from the pan, then slice.
- Add the quinoa and vegetable stock to the same pot. Stir the quinoa and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and place a strainer over the simmering quinoa.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, carrot, yellow pepper, snap peas, red onion, and purple cabbage to the strainer. Sprinkle with salt.
- Cover and cook for 20 minutes, until the quinoa is cooked and the veggies are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat, fluff the quinoa and divide into 2 bowls, then add the veggies and tofu. Pour the reserved sauce over.
- Enjoy!
