directions
- Combine the quinoa with 1 cup of the water and the kombu in a small saucepan. Cover, set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, soak the arame in 1 cup of water. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and sautee for about 5 minutes.
- Add the tofu and the remaining 2 1/2 cups of water, carrot, and mushrooms. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Remove the kombu from the quinoa and discard it. Add the quinoa to the stew.
- Measure the miso into a small bowl and add 1/2 cup of the hot stew liquid. Using a whisk, dissolve the miso into the liquid and return the mixture to the saucepan. Do not boil or simmer.
- Add the bok choy or napa cabbage and the soy sauce and stir to combine. This will barely wilt the greens.
- Rinse and drain the arame and add to the stew.
- Pour into 2 bowls and garnish with scallions and dulse.

I'm a grad student and also teach at two different schools, so I need some fast/easy recipes. I try to eat vegan, and most of my creations are also gluten-free because my husband is Diabetic/Celiac. I don't post any recipes I have not personally tried and liked.
