Being a foodie, eating out can be challenging. There are very few times that I really enjoy my dinner. That’s one of the reasons we stopped eating out so often. The cost is high but the food quality is low. So when I create a “copycat” recipe you know it’s a good one. Which not only saves you money but helps you provide your family with good food.
Some nutrition facts about quinoa. Quinoa is considered to be one of the “ancient grains” (even though it is a cereal), high in antioxidants, gluten free, complete protein source and essential amino acids. These are just a small portion of how you can benefit from eating quinoa.
Follow the recipe and make your own homemade teriyaki sauce or if time is too short use your favorite store bought.
