Steps

  1. Prepare first: rinse the quinoa, press and crumble the tofu, slice the mushrooms and green onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  2. Bring the quinoa and 480 g of the water to a boil in a covered skillet or saucepan, then simmer on low 15 minutes; rest covered 5 minutes and fluff.
  3. While the quinoa cooks, make the herb sauce: blend the basil, dill, parsley, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, a quarter of the salt and the remaining 60 g water until smooth.
  4. Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms 5 minutes until browned, add the edamame and cook 3 minutes more; move to a plate.
  5. Heat the remaining half of the olive oil in the skillet. Add the tofu, turmeric, garlic powder, the remaining three-quarters of the salt and the black pepper; cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring, until golden and hot.
  6. Stir the spinach into the tofu until just wilted, then return the mushrooms and edamame to warm through.
  7. Divide the quinoa among 4 bowls, top with the tofu scramble and cherry tomatoes, drizzle with the herb sauce and scatter the green onion over.
