JUMP TO RECIPE

Hello you lovely people! After quite a hiatus I’m bringing you a brand new recipe. It’s one that I’ve worked on a few times to get just right and now that it’s perfect, I’m so excited to share it with you ! If you’ve tried my one pot enchilada quinoa (one of my most popular recipes, you’ll find the method for this thai inspire quinoa to be quite similar! This quinoa is also great for meal prep when you just need something you can warm up quickly, but be satisfied at the same time! The great thing about this recipe is that since it’s made in one pot, its WAY less dishes!! It also is incredibly versatile which means you can use just about any veggies you have on hand (frozen works too).

I also highly suggest hitting up your local Asian market to grab this Maesri Penang Curry Paste or check it out on amazon !

Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I do ! Happy Eating ?
