Vegan coconut quinoa bowl – Packed with flavors and nutrients. Topped with tempeh and broccolis.
Coconut is one of the recent flavor I experimented in food. I find it delicious mixed with scallions and and ginger. In this recipe, it’s the perfect touch to a complete and healthy vegan bowl.
Usually, coconut milk is paired with jasmine rice in asian dishes. Here I experimented something new with quinoa and it was delicious! I added some ginger and onion to enhance the taste of the coconut. You can even add one tablespoon of cumin! It pairs nicely with the ginger.
In this recipe, the broccolis are a really nice addition to the coconut quinoa and the tempeh. It’s a great balance between the sweet, the sour, the bitter and also a nice texture mix.
My sautéed tempeh recipe is here and it’s a go to for every quick loaded in protein meal made in 5 minutes!

I’ve never cooked quinoa with coconut milk, but this sounds like a great idea. I have done it with rice and love the texture and flavor it lends. Roasted broccoli is so yummy. Great recipe 🙂
