Ingredients
The Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups Quinoa
- 4 cups Raw Spinach Like what you put in your salad
- 2 cups Raw Edamame without Shell I buy the frozen de-shelled one.
- 2 pounds Salmon
- 2 cups bok choy stems You can use the leaves if you want but I generally don't.
- 4 tsp sesame seeds For Garnish & Flavour. Optional but totally worth it.
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 tbsp infused garlic oil
- 2/3 cup Gluten Free Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup Rice Vinegar Sub lemon juice if you don't have it.
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Diced Fresh Ginger You want this cut up as small as you can. Use dried if you don't have it but fresh is better.
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red pepper flakes If you are OK with spice. Not all low FODMAP people are.
Instructions
- Put 4 cups of water (or low FODMAP broth) on to boil. Once it boils turn it off. This is to get it ready for when you want to cook the quinoa.
- If you are using fresh ginger dice the 1 tbsp of ginger
- Turn a sauce pan on to medium heat.
- Add the 1/3 of a cup Rice Vinegar to a measuring cup. Now you can add brown sugar until it reads 2/3 of a cup. Add soy sauce until it reads 1 1/3 of a cup. Add remaining Teryaki Sauce ingredients(tbsp Ginger, Infused Garlic Oil, Pepper Flakes (optional)) and pour into a sauce pan on Medium.
- Cook the sauce for 10 mins or until the brown sugar dissolves. Decide if you are doing this the quick way of the Maximum flavour way.
Maximum Flavour – Marinade Salmon
- Allow to teriyaki sauce to cool.
- Add 4 portions of salmon (2 pounds) to zip lock bag.
- Add teriyaki sauce to zip lock bag and allow to marinate for 2 hours. More if you have time but after 4 hours you don't get a lot of added flavour.
- Once Salmon is marinaded take the salmon out and place on baking sheet or grill. (Reserve the marinade for a sauce) and cook it for 20 mins at 400f. Or until you think it's ready.
- Turn a pan on to medium heat. Pour in Marinade. Heat the Teriyaki sauce and whisk in 1 tbsp of cornstarch. (This will thicken up the marinade into a sauce.)
Quick cook
- If you don't have a lot of time. Make the teriyaki sauce and whisk in 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Really stir it in. This will thicken the sauce and allow it to "stick" to the salmon.
- Paint the teriyaki sauce onto the salmon and cook for 20mins @ 400f. Or until you think it's ready.
Cooking the veggies
- Turn your quinoa water (or low FODMAP broth) pot back on and pour in the quinoa. When the salmon is done this should be done.
- Saute the bok choy stems for about 8 mins. Us a little bit of oil and stir occasionally.
- Place a frying pan on the stove and turn on to medium heat. (For Spinach)
- Saute the fresh spinach. Add just enough spinach for a single layer. There is no need to add oil.
- As the spinach cooks add another handful. Never more than a single layer but you can just keep cooking it. It should shrivel and turn dark green but not burn. Again you don't need to add any oil.
- Once all the spinach is cooked add the edamame in for the last minute of cooking to get warm.
Bowl Assembly
- Add 1 cup of quinoa to a bowl. Lazy stir in 1/4 of the bock choy, spinach and edamame. Lazy stir mean you aren't trying for a complete mix just enough so the ingredients aren't all together but they also aren't uniform. This creates pockets of different flavours.
- Cut salmon into bite size pieces and add to the bowl. Add a quarter cup of Teriyaki sauce over top of the bowl.
- Sprinkle a tsp of Sesame seeds to garnish it.
- Eat it! Love it! Rate it!
