    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly rinse the quinoa. Cook it in twice the amount of water for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    2

    Peel the butternut squash and cut it into small cubes.

    3

    Cut the tofu into small cubes, then mix with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and a little soy sauce. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

    4

    Heat the olive oil in a wok. Sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir.

    5

    Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric, then add the butternut squash. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, then pour in the coconut milk and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender.

    6

    Meanwhile, in another pan, fry the marinated tofu until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

    7

    Mix the tahini paste with 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Drizzle over the curried butternut squash and stir to combine.

    8

    To serve, place the quinoa in a deep bowl. Arrange the wok-cooked curried butternut squash and fried tofu on top. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
