Asian Quinoa. Infused with Asian flavors and packed with bok choy, Chinese cabbage and mushrooms, this is like no quinoa you've ever had before. Delicious!!

As a foodie and food blogger, it’s pretty much understood that good tasting food gets me excited. Like so excited I immediately start thinking of how to re-create it at home or I’m constantly thinking of new things inspired by what I just ate and how I can put my own spin on things.

Bok Choy

I also love just opening the fridge and pantry and seeing what I can throw together. Some of my best dishes have come together this way. I had some bok choy and chinese cabbage at home and after an afternoon of cleaning out my pantry, I found some quinoa. And then this happened.

When cooking quinoa, I usually just add water or chicken broth but wanted to try something new. . something better that would take this quinoa to the next level in taste and flavor and after a delivery of this fabulous wine, I knew what needed to happen. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned when it comes to cooking with wine, it’s use a good quality wine when cooking, one that you would enjoy drinking. It really does make a difference.

Entwine Wines is the official wine of The Food Network so you know it’s good. And let me tell you, it’s good. And this Asian Quinoa might be one . .  correction: this is one of the best things I’ve made here on Hip Foodie Mom. If you like quinoa and Asian flavors, you will love this. I made this three times the two weeks I was developing and testing this recipe and ate this (I’m not kidding at all) everyday for lunch for one week straight. I loved it that much.

Entwine Wines makes a Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and this fabulous Pinot Grigio. They are all fabulous and I’m so glad I discovered these wines for the first time in Miami. It was a evening of wine and cheese. What could be better? Want to try some for yourself? Click here to find a store retailer close to you.

Asian Quinoa with Bok Choy

Note for the cook: Always rinse and drain your quinoa before cooking. And if you're a vegetarian, simply replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.

Course: Main
Cuisine: Asian
Servings: 4
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil split
  • 1 small onion diced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves minced, split
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • ¼ cup Entwine Wines Pinot Grigio
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups bok choy chopped
  • 1 cup Chinese cabbage chopped
  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
  • Diced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Using a large heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. After a minute or so, add the onions, ginger and 1 clove of minced garlic and sauté until the onions begin to get soft and tender.
  • Season with salt and add in the quinoa. Stir for a minute or two and pour in the wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is light and fluffy.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, using a medium sized non-stick pan over medium high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and add the remaining garlic. Add the bok choy, Chinese cabbage and mushrooms and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and mix the vegetables gently into the cooked quinoa. Season with soy sauce and the crushed red pepper if using. Taste and add a touch more soy sauce if needed. Let cook for another minute. Garnish with the diced green onions and serve immediately.

    This looks delicious…almost like a risotto! I’m pregnant so I don’t know if it’s okay to cook with wine. What can I substitute the wine with?

      Hi Candice,
      Thank you! Unfortunately, there’s really no substitute. You can add a bit more chicken broth but the flavor/taste won’t be the same. . but it will still be tasty!! I hope you give the recipe a try. . if you do, please let me know how you like it!

    I love this dish! It’s funny, some of my most “creative” cooking happens with quinoa too! It’s always like… okay I have quinoa, what can I add to it?? Bok choy is so great, I love that you used it here. And I’ll hit up that wine just as soon as I deliver this baby… I definitely miss wine!!!

    I noticed that nobody has shilled for Entwine wines in the last 10 minutes, so I thought I’d stop in and say “I can’t wait to try Entwine wines!”.

    Hi there,
    I have tried this recipe twice now and it is absolutely delicious!
    I also added an extra type of mushroom, broccoli (just the sprouts) and cooked the quinoa separately before adding it!
    This is a fantastic recipe which you can alter (or not!) to add more or less the flavours that you like!

    This is a total keeper, I LOVE IT!
    Thankyou for this recipe!
