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.
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.
