Author's Notes

Another way of serving is to cook quinoa separately and then serve Thai curry over the quinoa or on the side. But with the above method, quinoa absorbs the most flavor of green Thai curry.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Start the pressure cooker in sauté mode on high heat and add Oil (2 Tbsp).
step 2
Prepare the Tofu (240 mL) for sauté by pressing tofu wrapped in kitchen paper towel between palms to squeeze the water out.
step 3
Crisp cubed tofu in the pot with heated oil for two minutes on each side. Take it out and set it aside when done.
step 4
Add Fresh Ginger (2.5 cm) and Celery (2 stalks) to the left-over oil; sauté it on high for 1 minute.
step 5
After that add Onion (1) and Bok Choy (70 g) stems while continuing to sauté it. Don’t let it cook too much to maintain the crunchiness.
step 6
Now add Thai Green Curry Paste (90 g). Stir it into onions and celery. Roast it for 30 seconds.
step 7
Now add Asparagus (1/2 bunch) and Eggplant (1/2) into the curry pot. Give it a good stir.
step 8
Add washed and drained Quinoa (170 g), Coconut Milk (120 mL), water and Salt (to taste). Mix well to combine all ingredients.
step 9
Close the Instant pot lid. Cancel the sauté mode and set on high-pressure cook for zero.
step 10
Let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid, once the pressure is completely released.
step 11
Then fluff the quinoa with a light hand, and add Zucchini (1), Assorted Color Bell Peppers (360 g), Cauliflower Florets (105 g), Broccoli Florets (175 g), and Sugar Snap Peas (70 g).
step 12
Mix all ingredients to incorporate into cooked quinoa. Close the lid again and set the pressure cooker on low pressure for zero minutes. This will allow the vegetable to get cooked with steam without getting mushy.
step 13
Let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid, once the pressure is completely released.
step 14
Now the Thai green curry quinoa is cooked. Add Lime (1) and Fresh Cilantro (4 Tbsp), Fresh Thai Basil (4 Tbsp), and Scallions (4 Tbsp) into the quinoa and combined everything.
step 15
Stir one last time to incorporate all the flavors into Thai Green Curry Quinoa. After transferring to the serving plate, top it with crisp tofu and Cashew Nuts (4 Tbsp).
