Kimchi Quinoa StirFry (GF, DF)
I saw this in Bon Appetite and it just sang to me! A recipe with tamari, sesame oil, kimchi and Quinoa, some of my all time favourite ingredients! It’s an easy recipe and has a double helping of protein with the egg and Quinoa.
Kimchi is great for your digestion, as it is fermented, another wisdom passed down through generations
I use normal Kimchi for me and mama’s extra spicy Kimchi for Mr B
Happy Spring!
