Quinoa Thai “Rice” Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup QUINOA
1 can COCONUT MILK
1 ONION (chopped)
2 Tbsp GINGER (minced)
1 Tbsp CHILI-GARLIC SAUCE
1-2 tsp LEMONGRASS (minced)
4-6 cloves GARLIC (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
½ tsp TURMERIC
CILANTRO (chopped)
ENGLISH CUCUMBER (chopped)
ROMA TOMATO (chopped)
2-3 Tbsp RICE VINEGAR
SALT and PEPPER to taste
Quinoa Thai “Rice” Recipe Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Saute for 3-4 minutes until ingredients begin to soften. Add chili-garlic sauce, turmeric, and salt to taste. Mix well and continue sauteing for another minute.
Add quinoa and stir well.
In a measuring cup, add one can of coconut milk, and then add additional water to bring the liquid to 2½ cups. Pour the coconut/water mixture into the skillet and mix well with the quinoa.
Stir in the minced lemongrass.
Raise the skillet temperature and bring ingredients to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let dish cook undisturbed for 15 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, chop cucumber and tomato into a bowl. Use a cucumber with a thin, edible skin, it’s a great texture for this dish. Add fresh chopped ginger and cilantro, salt and pepper to taste, and a generous amount of rice vinegar; the tartness of the vinegar adds a great contrast to the coconut creaminess of the quinoa. Thoroughly mix the salad ingredients and set aside.
Once the quinoa has simmered for 15 minutes, remove from the heat and let sit 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and add fresh chopped cilantro; if you’re not a fan of cilantro, basil makes an excellent substitute.
Serve quinoa in a bowl with the cucumber/tomato salad.
It’s crazy creamy and awesome recipe. So simple and delicious, and makes a great meal. Definitely give this Thai rice quinoa recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

you look way younger shaved papi
I made this for lunch today. It was AH-MAZ-ING!
Looks good! I will be making this.
That little cry of joy 2:24 crushing the lemongrass had me in stitched, had
to watch that a couple of times actually.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. It fits in my vegan diet. By the way, I
buy big bags of quinoa at Costco. They sell it for a great price.
I’ve always wondered, “Why is this guy so crazy about quinoa?” but when you
mentioned in this video quinoa being able to make something into a full
meal I finally read up on it and damn, it’s pretty much nutritionally
superior to rice in every way for my purposes. I always thought it was just
some kind of hipster food for westerners who wanna seem more healthy or
unique but actually this stuff is like strictly better than rice, I guess
I’m a convert to the Church of Quinoa now.
You can’t eat the skin on an American cucumber? I never knew that. On the
bright side, you can buy watermelons for less than the price of a new Audi.
Love this. Thai food is among the best dishes of the Asian continent.
Love all your quinoa recipes – this one looks exceptional. New pan? Lovely.
Thanks for putting up healthy dishes!
