Notes
I like to cook my quinoa in vegetable broth for more flavor.
The spicy cashew sauce will make enough to have for the week.
I know this is a breakfast bowl but I made this for dinner last night and loved it! It is so nutritious and filling. The spicy cashew sauce almost tastes like a sriracha mayo. Next time I would probably just pan fry an egg to save a step. The poached egg is pretty but I think an jammy yolk egg will give you the same idea.
YUM! All about this for any meal of the day.
