A little bit of pork adds plenty of flavor to this simple stir-fry. If you can’t find baby bok choy, simply substitute full size and slice thinly.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger grated with a fine microplane - about 2 packed tablespoons
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth or water
- ¼ pound ground pork
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 1 pound baby bok choy discard stems, halve lengthwise and separate leaves
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together lime juice, tamari, syrup, sesame oil, Sriracha and ginger; set aside.
- Place quinoa into a fine-mesh strainer and rinse well under cold water. Transfer to a medium pot, and toast over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute or until water is evaporated. Add 2 cups broth or water, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer over low heat, and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, warm a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking up pork with a wooden spoon. Add garlic and bok choy and stir gently to combine. Cook for about 8 minutes or until just tender. Stir in bean sprouts and red bell pepper, cover and cook for 4–5 minutes or until red pepper is crisp-tender. Add reserved sauce and serve over quinoa.
