Quick & easy vibrant mango-sesame mushroom stir-fry paired with quinoa. A nutritious dinner bursting with flavors and antioxidants. Try it tonight!
Ingredients
- • quinoa: 1 cup, rinsed
- • water: 2 cups
- • sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • cremini mushrooms: 8 ounces, sliced
- • bell pepper: 1, thinly sliced
- • ripe mango: 1, peeled and diced
- • green onions: 3, chopped
- • fresh ginger: 1-inch piece, grated
- • garlic cloves: 2, minced
- • soy sauce: 2 tablespoons (or tamari for gluten-free)
- • rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • sesame seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh cilantro: a handful, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Begin by cooking the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is fully absorbed.
- 2 Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and the peppers are slightly tender.
- 3 Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the diced mango and chopped green onions, stirring gently to combine.
- 4 Pour in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, tossing everything together so the sauce coats the vegetables and mango. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 5 Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the stir-fry and toss gently to distribute. Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.
- 6 Serve the mango-sesame mushroom stir-fry over a bed of quinoa, garnishing with additional green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • This vibrant stir-fry pairs beautifully with a side of steamed edamame for added protein and fiber. For a refreshing contrast, serve it with a simple cucumber salad dressed in lime juice and a pinch of chili flakes. Complement your meal with a chilled glass of sparkling water infused with mint and a slice of lime to truly elevate the dining experience. For a more substantial meal, consider adding a bowl of miso soup on the side, which provides umami depth and warmth, enhancing the overall flavor profile of your dinner.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the stir-fry gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to refresh the flavors. The quinoa can be stored separately and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick meal prep solution.
