Instructions
 

  • Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and salt, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until water is completely absorbed. Note: When done, quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. Transfer cooked quinoa to a shallow pan and refrigerate to cool.
    Critical Control Point:
    Cool to 41˚F or lower within 4 hours.
  • Dressing: In a separate bowl combine lime juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, and ginger. Whisk together until ingredients are well combined.
  • In a medium bowl combine the black beans, bell peppers, cilantro, and green onions. Add the dressing and mix well. Let marinate for 1 hour.
    Critical Control Point:
    Cool to 41°F or lower within 4 hours.
  • Remove quinoa from refrigerator. Using an 8 oz spoodle, scoop 1 cup chilled quinoa into each bowl.
  • Using a No. 8 scoop, portion ½ cup of black bean mixture on top of quinoa.
  • Just before serving, top with 1 oz scoop of avocado and 1 hard-boiled egg sliced in half.
  • Serve immediately. Serve 1 quinoa bowl per person.
